The production of electrical energy is a major challenge for the future, with renewable energies such as wind power being a promising solution. This study was conducted to assess the feasibility of powering a desalination plant using wind energy. The BENISAF Water Desalination Company (BCW), located in western Algeria with a capacity of 200000 m3 per day, consumes about 4.15 kWh for 1 m3. The Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) software was used to evaluate the wind potential and annual energy production in the nearest windiest region of BCW. Various simulations were carried out to determine the optimal turbine layout and technology for energy production with respect to the total required installed capacity of 39 MW. The Vestas V100 2.6 MW turbine was found to be the most efficient. Thanks to the wind farm, water from a green energy source represents between 47% and 56% of the annual production of the desalination plant, which requires 302.2 GWh.

The production of electrical energy is a major challenge for the future, with renewable energies such as wind power being a promising solution. This study was conducted to assess the feasibility of powering a desalination plant using wind energy. The BENISAF Water Desalination Company (BCW), located in western Algeria with a capacity of 200000 m3 per day, consumes about 4.15 kWh for 1 m3. The Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) software was used to evaluate the wind potential and annual energy production in the nearest windiest region of BCW. Various simulations were carried out to determine the optimal turbine layout and technology for energy production with respect to the total required installed capacity of 39 MW. The Vestas V100 2.6 MW turbine was found to be the most efficient. Thanks to the wind farm, water from a green energy source represents between 47% and 56% of the annual production of the desalination plant, which requires 302.2 GWh.
