Facilities that simultaneously produce electric energy and desalinated water from a single fuel source are known as cogeneration plants. The primary fuel input is used to produce high-temperature heat to generate electricity and low-temperature to distill seawater. Cascading the primary fuel energy through an integrated dual-purpose power/desalination plant is more fuel efficient than that of two standalone facilities. Further cost reductions are possible when the power and desalination facilities share operating and maintenance personnel.The objective of this book is to provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals, performance assessment, and economic evaluation of water desalination plants combined with power generation stations. The book contents are intended to be utilized by planners, professional engineers, and researchers being introduced or associated with desalination and power generation as well as by undergraduate and postgraduate university students.

Dr Osman Ahmed Hamed obtained his PhD in Chemical engineering from the University of Newcastle, England, in 1972. During the period from 1972 to 1996, he taught the subject of Chemical Engineering at the universities of Khartoum (Sudan), Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. During the period 1996 to 2019, he acquired vast industrial experience in the field of desalination technology when he joined the Desalination Technologies Research Institute (DTRI) which belongs to Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) of Saudi Arabia. Dr Hamed published more than 70 papers in the desalination field in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences. He received several awards and registered several patents in the desalination field.
