Control strategy
The system's control strategy, dubbed "flow-commanded current control," allows it to dynamically adjust its desalination rate multiple times per second. This is achieved through a sophisticated algorithm that monitors the system's energy output and adjusts the flow rate of water through the electrodialysis stacks accordingly.
When the system detects an excess of available power, it increases the rate at which water is pumped through the electrodialysis stacks, allowing for more efficient desalination. Conversely, when the system detects a lack of power, it reduces the flow rate to conserve energy.
