Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide a detailed analysis of wind energy resources for seawater reverse osmosis desalination (SWRO), in a case study region of Ténès Algeria, by using commercialWaspsoftware.
An economic analysis of the environmental benefits was also done using RETScreen software to give details about financial investment hazards and CO2 emissions reduction. An energy yield and economical analysis was performed of a hypothetical wind farm consisting of 5 wind turbines of type Bonus 2MW. It was found that wind energy can successfully power a SWRO desalination plant in the case study region.
