There are many ways to extract water vapor in the air such as condensation which is the process of cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, or pressurizing the air. AWG is designed to provide the potable water. In this research AWG is used for a remote area renewable power station. Products of the station are pure water and electricity generated by using the water extracted by the AWG. The generated electricity used to supply the needs of the remote area which isn't surrounded by any other power or water sources, also for irrigation, agriculture, drinking water and …etc. Also a comparison between Steam Power Stations and Hydro Power Station using AWG has been carried out to find the economist station using Monte-Carlo simulation. Index Terms - Atmospheric water generator, Monte Carlo, Simulation, Remote Area, Renewable Power Station. I- INTRODUCTION The Shortage of drinking water and the power is widely spread in many countries all over the world; particularly the regions of South Africa, Middle East and Central and southern Asia [22]. Water from atmospheric air can be extracted by many methods. One of these methods is absorbing method. The absorbing method is carried out by cooling the moist air to a certain temperature lower than its dew point; various research work had been reported [1], [7] & [23]. Another method is the adsorbing method which is carried out by using solid or liquid desiccant and recovering the extracted water by heating the desiccant and condensed the evaporated water [8] & [16]. Generally, water can be delivered to the remote areas by different methods; transportation of water from other locations, desalination of saline water and harvesting water from atmospheric air. However, the first method of water transportation through these regions is usually costly, while the second one using desalination depends on the presence of saline water resources, which is usually rare in remote areas and the third; basically depends on atmospheric air which is a huge and can be considered as a renewable reservoir of water. The engineering decision for choosing the suitable method depends on local climatic conditions and economic factors such as capital, operating, and energy costs. The evaporated water from the surfaces of dry land and the ocean is about 577000 Km3 in a year and the same amount falls as precipitation. The annual discharge of river is only about 7% of the total precipitation. The distribution of the water content in the air is non-uniformly. Half of the total amount of water vapor falls within the lower 1.5 km and the other half falls within the troposphere. Near the earth’s surface, the average absolute humidity is 11 g/m3, and in the tropical regions, this value goes up to 25 g/m3 and higher [6]. AWG device is a creative solution for a massive trouble with the water resources. The source of water feed this device is the cheapest one all over the world which is the air. The extraction of water then depends on the condensation of the air which is rich with moisture content. On the other hand, Providing drinking water to urban neighborhoods requires large, connectable devices to extract water from the air unlike small patented devices which they could generate person's daily needs. The objective of the present work is to highlight the different technological processes used for moisture or dew collection from the atmospheric air. In this research the availability to produce electricity using extracted water is presented. Also, this research covers the theoretical background required for the water extraction process using the dehumidification equations and psychometric charts with different RH, Temperatures, and Air flow rates. Extracting water from air becomes a state of the art research field as mentioned. II- AWG RENEWABLE POWER STATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The system mainly consists of two cycles; one of them is the main cycle which is called water extraction system. The water extraction system consists of four units which are a water pump, an evaporator, a condenser and a compressor. The other cycle is a secondary one and it might be a steam cycle or a hydro cycle. The steam power cycle consists of a pump, a boiler, a steam turbine and a condenser. The hydro power cycle consists of a hydro turbine and a generator. The extracted water from the air water generation cycle shall be 978-1-6654-1998-7/21/$31.00 ©2021 IEEE
