Abstract
Since energy requirements for desalination processes are large, the energy supply in remote areas is a problem, especially if electricity is required. The status and perspectives of development of wind-powered desalination are reviewed in this paper. Desalination processes suitable for coupling to wind turbines are reverse osmosis (RO), mechanical vapour compression (MVC) and electrodialysis (ED). Wind-powered RO is the most mature technology whereas there are very few pilot plants of wind-driving MVC and ED.
