Control system of battery electric power charge in the solar desalination plant

The paper discusses different operation modes of designed solar desalination plant. We analyzed various factors affecting the productivity of the plant, and gave conclusions and recommendations aimed at increasing the performance of solar desalination plants designed to operate in regions with low solar activity. We computed electric energy consumption in developed installation and presented calculations of solar cell. Control system of battery electric power charge allows usage of electric heater attached into the solar desalination plant as an additional heating element installed in the section for desalination. Algorithm and settings of the microcontroller are aimed at reducing the consumption of electric energy that reduces total area of solar panels and allows of installing them on the surface section of the desalter. The paper presents the results of solar desalination plant performance using the developed control system of electric energy charge and without control.
