Modelling, simulation and optimisation of a pressure retarded osmosis power station: The co- vs. counter-current setting
In a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) power plant, osmosis is used to generate electric power in a 2-channel system through a semipermeable membrane. Such system can be operated in the co- or in the counter-current mode, depending on relative flow direction of the fresh and the salt (draw) water along the membrane. In order to study and compare these two cases, models which describe the variations of the various...
