Application of Wind-Solar Hybrid Energy for Optimization and Design for Seawater Desalination System

Abstract:

China has long coastline and numerous islands, which contains ocean fishing, coastal aquaculture and development base of Marine resource and a state of coastal area. Conventional energy often can not be used in these islands, where fresh water resources is scarce, and often the quality of water does not conform to the hygiene standards. Transporting freshwater from land needs too high costs , and often may be affected by the weather. It’s a scientific and rational choice that utilizing the local rich resources of solar energy, wind energy and seawater resources to construct desalination station by using Wind-Solar Hybrid Energy, solve the problem of shortage of electric and water in these island areas and protect the ecological environment. In this paper, seawater desalination system by using Wind-Solar Hybrid Energy has being designed on the optimization and the economic benefit according to the wind, solar and water resources situation.
