25 kW solar photovoltaic flat panel power supply for an electrodialysis water desalination unit in New Mexico. Final report, 1 October 1978-31 May 1979
The stand-alone system designed by Mobil Tyco Solar Energy Corporation consists of a 25 kW flat panel array employing silicon ribbon solar cells, used in conjunction with a lead-acid battery bank to provide the complete power requirements of an electrodialysis water desalination unit. The Mobil Tyco system design is intended to be prototypical of part of the drinking water supply for a remote village. The specific task which this system will perform during Phase III is to aid in the restoration of an aquifer following a uranium leaching operation by the Energy Minerals Division of Mobil Oil Corporation at a site which is approximately four miles from the township of Crownpoint in northwestern New Mexico. System design is described, and a detailed description of a mathematical model and computerized simulation of the system is included. (WHK)
