There is an increasing requirement to supply clean energy to satisfy water desalination energy demands. However, there are opportunities to improve the financial feasibility of green energy production. This paper investigates the energy supply of water desalination units using renewable energies, aiming to decrease the cost of the system operation. This will be achieved primarily by improved energy scheduling and management methods. The proposed optimal energy management strategy will allow for increased flexibility in how energy is supplied to the water desalination units, as well as when it produces the most revenue. The proposed method is applied on a case study to extract the simulation results and discussion. This method directly contributes to providing additional clean power to the grid, which will be the basis to determine how large the potential of this offset can be.
