Abstract
This paper proposes a global model of sustainable desalination in the hydrological context of any river with a reservoir close to the sea. For this purpose, a desalination plant is installed, located on the coast, which transports the pumped water using the course of the river itself and discharges it directly into the reservoir. The concept of sustainability lies in the fact that the energy required to provide for the entire process is obtained by means of a floating photovoltaic park located in the reservoir. The electrical energy generated by this park provides a self-consumption solution for both the desalination plant and the pumping stations, either by injecting and balancing its energy into the electrical grid or directly to the desalination plant. In addition, as a remarkable product in the desalination process, various derivatives are obtained and the project becomes a source of green hydrogen.
