Study on the Wind and Solar Hybrid Desalination for Water-Saving Society Development of Shandong Province

Abstract

The seawater desalination technology provides an effective way to solve the shortage issue of freshwater resources. This paper describes current water resource situation of Shandong Province which calls for a seawater desalination system serve itself continuously. Having analyzed the current situation of wind and solar energy recourses in Shandong, this article bring up reverse osmosis desalination using wind and solar hybrid power, and theoretical design and matching calculation in the process also has been carried out. Additionally, economic calculation was conducted. The results show that the combination use of wind and solar power in seawater desalination has certain economic benefits, as well as improving the proportion of unconventional water’s usage.
