Summary:Desalination plants play an essential role in power and water production in the Middle East to meet the ever increasing and dynamic demands. In particular, the number of hybrid desalination plants being built is on the increase largely due to their flexibility in meeting different levels and combinations of production. However, these plants have a complex system structure; especially considering that at least two different desalination process types are used in one hybrid desalination plant. Nevertheless this structure /is a hotbed of optimization possibilities.
