Research on an Innovative Seawater Desalination System Using Large Scale Non-Grid-Connected Wind Power

摘要

An innovative seawater desalination system using large-scale non-grid-connected wind power is developed. It includes five major parts: non-gridconnected wind turbine, power converter system, control system, seawater desalination unit and pump units as electrical loads. The system directly uses large scale non-grid-connected wind power as unique energy source, which not only break through the restriction for connecting to the power grid but also change the offshore wind power transmission into the freshwater transmission ashore. It leads to significant cost reduction and good business prospects in the world.
