Two models for the conversion of solar energy into wind energy, (a) preliminary model and (b) extended model. 

Maximum power is a concept introduced in Chapter 5. Appreciate its application in models for solar energy conversion to wind energy and photothermal conversion into electricity. 

Minimizing the cycle time in filament wound composites can be critical to the economic success of the process. The process parameters that influence the cycle time are winding speed, molding temperature and polymer formulation. To optimize the process, a finite element analysis (FEA) was used to characterize the effect of each process parameter on the cycle time. The FEA simultaneously solved equations of mass and energy which were coupled through the temperature and conversion dependent reaction rate. The rate expression accounting for polymer cure rate was derived from a mechanistic kinetic model. 

Therefore, it is anticipated that this initial project will lead to broader social and environmental advances and act as a model for further cogeneration plants. Conversion of hydro, wind and, solar energy to electricity and to hydrogen will open a new venue for the efficient utilization of renewable energy resources in Azerbaijan.
