This analysis is compulsory to operate a lab-scale pilot plant that is being erected at Zaragoza, Spain. A new model-type has been included in TRNSYS® in order to include the MD unit in the scheme. A sensitivity analysis of some free-design variables, such that the ETC surface, PVT and ETC tilt, water storage tank, batteries capacities, and mass flow rates delivered to the SHW service and/or feeding the MD unit has been performed in order to propose the definite design of the scheme. The proposed base case was able to produce up to 15, 311 L per year in the MD system and cover an electric energy demand of 1890 kWh. Coverage of SHW, water (including RO and MD) and power is respectively 99.3%, 100% and 70%. However, daily and yearly assessment of FW, SHW and power produced with the optimized design gave a better coverage of water and energy demands for a typical single family home. The improved and definite design was able to increase its MD production in 35% and the electric energy in 7% compared with base case. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ENE2014-59947-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.262 2016 ENERGY & FUELS 45 / 92 = 0.489 2016 Q2 T2 0.662 2016 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2016 Q1 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2016 Q2 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2016 Q2 Control and Optimization 2016 Q2 Energy (miscellaneous) 2016 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-4408-6881 Uche, Javier Universidad de Zaragoza Del Almo, Alejandro Círez, Fernando (orcid)0000-0002-9279-1959 Usón, Sergio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1238-8746 Martínez, Amaya Universidad de Zaragoza Guedea, Isabel 5004 590 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
