Water and energy are important to everyday life. This study focuses on implementing wind turbines in the outer banks of North Carolina, powering four different water treatment plants. These facilities can produce more than 10 million gallons of water a day, using reverse osmosis or microfiltration. Reverse osmosis requires large amounts of energy to pressurize the system, so it was in the best interest to create operating strategies and methodologies to optimize the energy usage at these facilities.The first case looked at just implementing wind turbines of varying capacity. It was found that the best turbine from the equipment selected has a nameplate capacity of 2000 kW. This turbine produced enough electricity to offset 92% of the total energy consumed at the facilities.The second case looked at implementing a single storage tank, capable of storing up to one million gallons of water. An operating strategy was developed to increase water production on one day of the week during times of high wind speeds, then decrease production the rest of the week. This strategy saved over 20,000 kWh per year while still producing the same amount of water per week.The third case focused on finding out how much water storage would be needed to run the facilities completely off grid. It was found that a storage capacity of 32 million gallons were needed to run the water treatment plants 100% off grid. Since this amount of storage is unreasonable due to the high costs, a percentage was developed to identify how much of the year the system could run off grid with varying storage amounts.The fourth case focused on running the facilities using grid power at night to produce enough water for the following day, when there was a lack of wind power available. 6.75 million gallons of storage are required for this strategy to work 100% of the time. While no model is perfect, this analysis gave a glimpse of what could happen when implementing renewable energy sources and unconventional energy storage options.
