Reports water production efficiency of wave-driven desalination systems, indicating critical performance metrics.
The electrical power performance of a wave energy converter (WEC) has been standardised; however, recent interest in wave-driven desalinization systems (WDDS) has given rise to standard metrics to evaluate the performance of a WEC for water desalination. The efficiency of water production should consider the quantity and quality of desalinated water. In this paper, water production was investigated by quantifying the salinity concentration and permeate flow using reverse-osmosis membrane laboratory data and industry-accepted empirical formulas. The evaluation indicates that WDDS sea-trials critical measurements are pressure, flow, salinity, temperature, and salinity of the feed flow and the permeate flow.
