The aim of this investigation is to assess the feasibility and benefits of integrating a renewable energy system into a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination station in Aqaba, Jordan. It has been determined that the optimal SWRO system configuration produce 109,500.00 m³ daily fresh-water output with high rejection rates for various contaminants. The total water cost is 0.85 $/m³, with a specific energy consumption of 2.67 kWh/m³. Furthermore, the economic and environmental assessments of optimum design of the wind-diesel generator-battery. This conf iguration not only offers the lowest cost of energy but also demonstrates a substantial renewable fraction and significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. These results underscore the feasibility and benefits of integrating renewable energy into desalination operations, contributing to both economic sustainability and environmental preservation.
