WaterTAP-REFLO Simulations of Solar Energy Integrated Desalination Systems for KBHDP and Permian Basin Case Studies

Published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:04 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 23, 2025 at 09:06 PM
This submission includes model simulations for several solar-integrated desalination water treatment systems. The simulations revolve around two different case studies: Kay Bailey Hutchinson Desalination Plant (KBHDP) and Permian Basin Produced Water (Permian) There is one folder for each case study. Within each folder are simulation data files that correspond to the specific case study, treatment system, and parameter sweep. Several different treatment systems were modeled for each case study, as presented below. WaterTAP-REFLO is an extension of the NAWI funded WaterTAP modeling and techno-economic assessment platform. Full documentation of the software packages used is available either on the main WaterTAP (see "WaterTAP Documentation" resource below) or WaterTAP-REFLO (see "WaterTAP-REFLO Documentation" below) documentation. Definitions for acronyms used in this description and in column headers are enumerated in the attached README file below. Also included in the README is a description of the simulation results and structure.
