Wind-Powered Water Desalination Plant for a Small Island Community at the German Coast of the North Sea - Design and Working Experience

摘要

A wind powered water desalination plant is operated as a 'remote stand alone system' for the fresh water supply of the small island of Suederoog at the German coast of the North Sea. The project is carried out jointly by MAN Neue Technologie Muenchen and the GKSS research center at Geesthacht. The main objective of the plant is to demonstrate the reliability and the low maintenance requirements for a wind powered desalination unit located in a remote area with favourable wind conditions and without connection to the public grid.
