Wind-powered energy plant for water desalination has mechanical energy provided by rotor used for driving pressure pump for reverse osmosis system

摘要

The energy plant has a tower (66) supporting a gondola (22) fitted with a rotor (10,12) driven by the wind for providing mechanical energy for driving at least one pressure pump (20) for a reverse osmosis system within the tower used for water desalination. The pressure pump can be located within the gondola, with a pressure reservoir (28) between the pressure pump and the reverse osmosis system.
