Sea Water Desalination in Microgrids
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-96677-5 (ISBN)
This book investigates the sustainability performance of system that use microgrids in desalination processes. Climate change may be especially dramatic in its effects on island environments. In these environments, aquifers and wells could become over exploited resulting the use of desalination plans. The synergies between water, energy, and food sectors have been identified as vital in achieving the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.
The book explores desalination and microgrids technically as well the economic and legal aspects that must be considered in order explore their techno-economic feasibility - analyzing how to improve the desalination process, proposing a method to locate and size a microgrid. Other synergies between the water, energy, and food system are discussed and the benefits to society that might result in these systems. Also, the lessons learned are highlighted in the context of how they may apply to other sustainable enterprises.
lt;p>Dr. Rosales-Asensio (Ph.D.) is Assistant Professor, Doctor, and Industrial Engineer with postgraduate degrees in electrical engineering, business administration, and quality, health, safety and environment management systems. Before starting as assistant professor at the ULPGC, I was, for two academic years, Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering and Automatics at the University of León. Prior to this teaching experience, I was Researcher in a project that evaluated the applicability of desalination systems based on renewable energies in water-scarce regions (University of La Laguna). With regard to my research activity, I have published 30 scientific articles in journals indexed in the JCR (all of them Q1/Q2); I have been PI of a regional R&D&I project with a competitive call; I have supervised a doctoral thesis in which relevant contributions were generated; I accredit 5 relevant publications in collaboration with researchers belonging to foreign research centres of recognized prestige; I accredit a 12-month international mobility supported by verifiable results; I have participated, as Associate Editor, in the editorial committees of three journals indexed in the JCR; I have regularly evaluated articles for journals indexed in the JCR; I have authored 12 book chapters that include the results of scientific or technological research; I have contributed to 10 research conferences with relative quality indexes; and I have edited 7 international books and 12 special issues of journals indexed in the JCR.
Mr. Francisco José García Moya is Industrial Engineer with postgraduate degrees in electrical engineering, business administration, and quality, health, safety and environment management systems. Currently, he is Researcher at the University of León, where he is involved in water desalination project in which the resulting surplus electricity and water would be sold. He has also worked as Design Engineer of renewable projects.
Dr. David Borge-Diez has a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering and a M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, both from the School of Industrial Engineering at the National Distance Education University (UNED). He is currently Lecturer and Researcher at the Department of Electrical, Systems and Control Engineering at the University of León, Spain. He has been involved in many national and international research projects investigating energy efficiency and renewable energies. He has also worked in Spanish and international engineering companies in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy for over eight years. He has authored more than 25 publications in international peer-reviewed research journals and participated in numerous international conferences.
Dr. Colmenar-Santos is Senior Lecturer in the field of electrical engineering at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Control Engineering at the National Distance Education University (UNED by its acronym in Spanish); from June 2014, Dr Colmenar-Santos obtained a favourable resolution from the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain (ANECA by its acronym in Spanish) to be habilitated as Full Professor. Dr Colmenar-Santos has been Adjunct Lecturer at both the Department of Electronic Technology at the University of Alcala and at the Department of Electric, Electronic and Control Engineering at UNED. He has worked for AECI-ICI as high-qualified Consultant at the INTECNA project (Nicaragua) and been part of the Spanish section of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) and of the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), working in a number of projects related to renewable energies and multimedia systems applied
