Cover Story: In this study, we demonstrate that energy storage for desalination powered by renewable energy is not an optimal solution. The desalination plant is sized to secure freshwater demand for a remote island with no grid connection. Water storage is introduced to buffer the fluctuation in supply and demand. This approach presents a more optimal, sustainable and reliable water supply option for remote populations. View the paper
