Bidding optimization for a reverse osmosis desalination plant with renewable energy in a day ahead market setting

Abstract. This study explores the relationship between power system electrical generation with PV and grid-connected reverse osmosis (RO) water desalination plants in an electricity market setting. It aims to optimize bidding strategies for renewable energy companies in this market, maximizing profits by optimizing coordination and utilizing the flexibility of RO desalination facilities. The research aims to improve economic efficiency, revenue production, and promote renewable energy resource exploitation through better coordination and integration of water desalination processes.
