A WIND ENERGY/DESALINATION SYSTEM FOR ANO SYROS

Obiettivo

To reduce the operational cost of a desalination plant by using wind energy.
To demonstrate that the direct connection of a wind turbine to a desalination plant is technically possible and economically viable.

The desalination plant consists of two units with a total capacity of 160 kW. The main energy consumption comes from the pumps. The plant has a nominal capacity of producing 2x150 m3/day and is going to work on a 24-hour basis, 7 days a week, 10 months a year. Since the wind potential is very high (628.000 W/m2), a 200 kW wind turbine will be used in order to optimize energy management. In order to obtain the highest amount possible of energy savings, the W/T is going to be directly connected to the desalination plant and parallel connected to the grid.
The two energy producing sources (W/T, grid) as well as the consumption (desalination plant) will be connected through a control unit which will conduct the energy management.
The exact location for the installation of the W/T will be defined after an extensive siting and optimization between two candidate sites.
