Abstract: Reverse osmosis desalination system driven by off-grid wind power is an essential solution for water shortage problem in coastal areas in China by using renewable energy. An optimal design approach of reverse osmosis desalination system is proposed based on wind power generation. The system design use goal of maximizing overall economic benefit of wind power driven reverse osmosis desalination system as objective function. The optimal seawater desalination system size and battery capacity can be obtained with the proposed method. Case analysis shows that the proposed design method has better economics benefit than empirical designs.

Key words: wind power generation, stand-alone, reverse osmosis, seawater desalination, mathematical programming
