Dynamic Modelling and Analysis of Solar Powered Reverse Osmosis Desalination System for Pakistan using the Bond Graph Model

With the advancement of technology and increase in world’s population, the demand for the consumption of fresh drinking water has increased worldwide. Utilization of clean energy sources for purification of water is the need of today’s world. This paper focuses on modelling the solar powered reverse osmosis system using the bond graph modelling technique which is very effective for multidisciplinary systems. The model contains electrical, mechanical and hydraulic domains merged together using the bond graph language. It further utilizes the 20-Sim software to implement the dynamic model and simulate the system. The paper eventually provides a detailed analysis on how the system will respond to the changing system parameters.
