This invention relates to the field of renewable energy power generation technology, specifically disclosing a comprehensive offshore renewable energy utilization system, including a platform, a seawater desalination unit, a salinity gradient power generation unit, and an energy storage unit. The seawater desalination unit has a waste inlet, and the salinity gradient power generation unit includes a permeation tank, a permeation membrane, and a first hydro-generator. The permeation membrane divides the internal space of the permeation tank into a concentrated seawater chamber and a fresh seawater chamber. The permeation tank has a first inlet connected to the concentrated seawater chamber and the waste inlet, a first outlet connected to the concentrated seawater chamber and the inlet of the first hydro-generator, a second inlet, and a second outlet. Both the first hydro-generator and the energy storage unit are electrically connected to a microgrid. This invention combines a seawater salinity gradient power generation system with a seawater desalination system, using the waste from the seawater desalination system as the extractant and ordinary seawater as the feed liquid. It utilizes the principle of osmotic pressure to convert the chemical potential energy of water into the required electrical energy, reducing the cost of seawater desalination and improving economic efficiency.
