PERFORMANCE STUDY OF SMALL SCALE SOLAR PV POWERED RO DESALINATION SYSTEM

摘要

Choosing any type of solar powered RO desalination system, which divided into three groups as: Rankine cycle driven; PV driven and Hybrid (particularly Wind-PV) powered RO systems depends on the location, natural conditions, topography of the site, capacity and size of the plant. The main selection criteria may include such parameters as simplicity of operation, low maintenance, compact size, easy transportation etc. Taking into account of these facts, the current presentation proposes a developed small scale PV powered RO desalination system, which is a promising option for preparation drinking and cooking water by its compactness, transportability, technically and also economically feasibility.
