RO and hybrid solar photovoltaic-wind power systems have been also designed and implemented (Houcine et al., 1999 Weiner et al., 2001 Mohamed et al., 2006). Recently, Folley et al. (2008) proposed a combined wave-power and RO desalination plant in which seawater can be directly... 

Offshore wind energy industry has grown very rapidly over the last years. The cumulative installed capacity of offshore wind power in the EU has increased from 532 MW in the year 2003 to 6.6 GW in the end of 2013, which represents an annual growth of about 29% (European 2014). Along with the growth of the market for offshore wind energy, particular attention should be focused on Operation and Maintenance (O M) as well as reliability and availability of the installed wind power systems.

Fiber composites with EP resins as matrix resins are used for high-quality composites for aerospace and sports applications and in electronics - thanks to their good insuiating properties they are optimally suited for circuit boards. In addition, rotor blades for wind-power systems beyond a certain size that cannot be made from UP resins are another area of increasing demand. 

Renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources will be essential for an ever-changing and populous planet. Solar power, hydropower, and wind power systems have been employed to complement current electric power sources. In recent years, clean, efficient energy conversion techniques have increasingly become the focal point of public interest, and are increasing in importance. The main causes of this are the increase in global energy requirements, the increase in environmental... 

The typic medium-sized squirrel-cage motor is designed to operate at 2 to 3 percent shp (97 to 98 percent of synchronous speed). The synchronous speed is determined by the power-system frequency and the stator-winding configuration. If the stator is wound to produce one north and one south magnetic pole, it is a two-pole motor there is always an even number of poles (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.). The synchronous speed is...

Power reactors are similar to transformers. However, they have only one winding per phase and can be represented as shown in Figure 27.1. They are employed to perform a number of functions, primarily to control and regulate the reactive power of a power system by supplying the inductive and absorbing the capacitive power. Control can be achieved in different ways as noted later. The reactors, depending upon their design and l-(p characteristics, can be classified as follows ...

For a given wind power installed, the sizing of the electrolyzer is not trivial. In the case of "stand-alone" systems, a one-to-one approach is often proposed, with the electrolyzer power input being equal to the nominal power output of the wind turbine. In this way, the electrolyzer should be able to retrieve all the wind power in the absence of load. In grid-connected systems, the same approach leads to the choice of an electrolyzer with a power supply equal to the power output of the wind turbine minus a "base load." However, the specific capital cost of the electrolyzer being almost equal to the cost of a wind turbine, it is important to take into account the capacity factor of the electrolyzer that will always be smaller than that of the wind turbine. 

Electrolyzers are generally current-controlled, which means that a certain DC is imposed according to the desired hydrogen production. In a wind-hydrogen system, the wind turbine power available for the operation of the electrolyzer is generally known therefore, the power input should be transformed to a current input. The voltage-current relation of an electrolyzer is not very simple because it depends on the temperature, pressure, and other construction characteristics. For a given electrolyzer, it is possible to experimentally establish the I-V curve at different temperatures and pressures, and deduce a temperature-dependent current-power curve.
