Research on an innovative large-scale offshore wind power seawater desalination system

摘要

For high cost, hard grid connection and low failure probability for large-scale offshore wind power, an innovate seawater desalination system is proposed. It directly couples offshore wind power with high energy-consuming seawater desalination to a new and full one. The system uses 100%off-shore wind power and adopts variable condition optimal control to maintain energy consumption per unit when fresh water production changes due to wind power fluctuation. Furthermore, it changes power transmission as fresh water transmission ashore, which not only solves the difficult problem of large-scale, and super-large-scale wind power application, saves the investment of offshore wind farms and increases the utilization efficiency of wind energy, but also solves the point source pollution problems caused by on-shore large-scale and super-large-scale seawater desalination. As a result, the system is of great practical and strategic significance.
