Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy resources intimately relate to sustainable development. Rapid increase in population and industrial development have propelled water resources to the forefront of challenges facing modern societies. Water covers about two thirds of the earth's surface; <1% is suitable for domestic and industrial use. In this study a work has been made to present a review, in brief, work of the highlights that have been achieved during the recent years world-wide and the state-of-the-art for most important efforts in the field of desalination by renewable energies, with emphasis on technologies and economics. This paper focuses on water sources, power demands and availability of potable water and purification methods that can be implemented in various remote islands in Singapore. A comparative study has been done to power the desalination plant using various renewable energy technologies. Solar powered RO desalination can possibly fill the belief of currently used desalination on fossil fuels, reduced operational costs, and improved environmental sustainability.

新加坡偏远岛屿的可再生动力海水淡化系统

可再生能源的利用与可持续发展密切相关。人口的快速增长和工业的发展使水资源成为现代社会面临的首要挑战。水覆盖了地球表面的三分之二;<1%适用于家庭和工业使用。在这项研究中，简要地审查了近年来世界范围内取得的突出成果和利用可再生能源淡化海水领域最重要努力的最新进展，重点是技术和经济。本文的重点是水资源，电力需求和饮用水的可用性和净化方法，可以在新加坡的各个偏远岛屿实施。一项利用各种可再生能源技术为海水淡化厂供电的比较研究已经完成。太阳能RO海水淡化可能会填补目前使用的化石燃料海水淡化的信念，降低运营成本，提高环境可持续性。
