TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of driving seawater desalination by wind power transmitter, and particularly relates to a storage type wind power / solar power driven jet heat pump membrane heat coupling seawater desalination system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Water is the source of life for civilization and the material foundation for social development. However, with the rapid development of social economy, problems such as water shortage, river and lake pollution, and water ecological deterioration have emerged, and water resources are no longer a natural resource that can be taken without limit. Freshwater resources are even more so. With the rapid development of social economy, freshwater resource shortage has become a global problem, and more and more countries and regions are facing freshwater crisis. Seawater desalination is one of the important ways to solve the problem of freshwater resource shortage and has attracted widespread attention. Seawater desalination technology mainly includes reverse osmosis method and distillation method. In 2020, the installed capacity of wind power in China was about 280GW, accounting for 38.45% of the global capacity. From 2009 to 2020, the annual average growth rate of wind power in China was 29.3%. In 2016-2020, the wind power generation capacity of 240.9TWh, 304.6TWh, 355.3TWh, 405.7TWh and 466.5TWh respectively ranked first in the world. With the continuous increase of wind power grid-connected capacity, its volatility and anti-peaking characteristics seriously hinder the process of consumption. Large-scale wind power transmission and the increase of peak shaving units have alleviated the predicament. However, this has brought more security risks to the power grid. The large-scale development of wind power has caused serious new energy power consumption problems.
[0003] Using wind energy as power for seawater desalination can realize on-site consumption of wind resources and production of freshwater resources. The membrane heat coupling seawater technology driven by wind power is an integrated technology that organically combines membrane and heat seawater desalination technologies, and uses solar energy to solve the instability and intermittency of wind energy. By optimizing the process system and reasonably configuring resources, the water production cost of seawater desalination is reduced, so as to obtain higher economy. The membrane heat coupling seawater desalination technology is the most advanced technology in the field of seawater desalination at present, and is the main direction of future seawater desalination research.
