Increasing the technical and economic performance of wind diesel systems by including fresh water production

In many remote regions of the world there is a lack of both electricity and potable water. In order to increase the standard of living and thus maintain the population both power and water have to be supplied at reasonable prices. A good option at many of these places are wind diesel systems of the Simple, Robust & Reliable (SR&R) type, [1], combined with a desalination system.
