Study of a water desalination station using the SMCEC technique: dynamic modelling and simulation

The dynamic modelling and simulation of the three sections of a water desalination facility using the Solar Multiple Condensation Evaporation Cycle (SMCEC) technique are presented. The models are obtained using thermal energy and mass balances of the different sections of the unit. The resulting distributed parametric systems of equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using the orthogonal collocation method. The parametric study in the dynamic mode and the numerical simulation allow to predict the behaviour of output of each of the three unit sections following variations in the internal signals and external perturbations.
