Water treatment with photovoltaic power supply
It is undoubted that the growing water scarcity is one of the world's most severe problems. State of the art water purification technologies can convert almost any water into potable water but they do require energy, mainly in the form of electricity. Thus, the water problem can also be seen as an energy problem since seawater, brackish water or freshwater of unknown quality are abundantly available but significant amounts of energy are required in order to make it suitable for drinking. In order to have sustainable energy sources, renewable energy sources should be applied. Photovoltaic (PV) powered water purification by membrane filtration is an opportunity to solve the issue. It can provide safe drinking water and on top, small independent minigrids that supply people with electricity, too. Based on the climate data, a design tool for a PV powered reverse osmosis water purification facility was designed. The three main cost factors water purification unit, PV panels with the inverter, storage were designed with the objective of minimizing the cost of water. A pilot unit with a low pressure RO system for the filtration of brackish water, which has been donated during the Tsunami Relief efforts in Indonesia, and demonstration units in India in cooperation with GE Water & Process Technology India are operated and monitored to get first-hand experience with systems in their designated environment.
