Abstract

In this chapter, the application of energy and exergy analyses to various renewable energy systems is described. Exergy analyses and exergetic performance assessment studies are performed for such renewable energy systems like solar photovoltaic and solar photovoltaic/thermal systems, solar ponds, wind energy systems (wind turbines), geothermal energy systems, biomass gasification systems, and ocean thermal energy conversion systems. The latter includes geothermal district heating systems, geothermal power plants, and geothermal heat pumps. Solar and wind exergy maps are also described. Furthermore, renewable energy systems are expected to play increasingly important roles in societies in the future.
