Water scarcity in small Aegean islands is considered a major problem for their development. On the other hand high potential renewable energy sources are available. Therefore a floating desalination unit was developed in order to treat the problem in an ecological manner. The floating unit has been operating for four years at sea close to a small island. Marine environment and autonomous remote operation led to a more complex design with several sensors and safety mechanisms. This paper illustrates and applies Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) modeling to Floating Ecological Desalination Unit. FMEA is based on monitoring data and also taking into account failure dependencies between components during the assessment of desalination system reliability. Then two systems, one with safety mechanisms and one without are analyzed by Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) and the reliability of each system is computed. The comparison between a simple system and the remote autonomous system illustrates the implications of the additional monitoring mechanisms and the impact of these mechanisms to reliability and risk assessment on the floating wind powered offshore desalination unit.
