Abstract

This book provides a platform for scientists and engineers to comprehend the technologies of solar wind hybrid renewable energy systems and their applications. It describes the thermodynamic analysis of wind energy systems, and advanced monitoring, modeling, simulation, and control of wind turbines. Based on recent hybrid technologies considering wind and solar energy systems, this book also covers modeling, design, and optimization of wind solar energy systems in conjunction with grid-connected distribution energy management systems comprising wind photovoltaic (PV) models. In addition, solar thermochemical fuel generation topology and evaluation of PV wind hybrid energy for a small island are also included in this book. Since energy storage plays a vital role in renewable energy systems, another salient part of this book addresses the methodology for sizing hybrid battery-backed power generation systems in off-grid connected locations. Furthermore, the book proposes solutions for sustainable rural development via passive solar housing schemes, and the impacts of renewable energies in general, considering social, economic, and environmental factors. Because this book proposes solutions based on recent challenges in the area of hybrid renewable technologies, it is hoped that it will serve as a useful reference to readers who would like to be acquainted with new strategies of control and advanced technology regarding wind solar hybrid systems

Highlights

  • Global installed wind power capacity has been tremendously increased over the last 15 years from 23,900 MW in 2001 to 486,790 MW in 2016 [1]

  • Results and discussion are elaborated in three aspects: (1) wind turbines (WTs) efficiency variation in time domain, (2) meteorological variables impact on the efficiencies, and (3) uncertainty of meteorological variables represented by the best-fit distributions

  • The energy and exergy efficiencies of the Goldwind WT are calculated by Eqs. (18) and (19), respectively, using the Ithaca meteorological data retrieved from the MERRA-2 data set

Summary

Introduction

Global installed wind power capacity has been tremendously increased over the last 15 years from 23,900 MW in 2001 to 486,790 MW in 2016 [1]. Baskut et al discussed the effects of several meteorological variables including air density, pressure difference, humidity, and ambient temperature on exergy efficiency and suggested that neglecting these meteorological variables while planning wind farms could cause important errors in energy calculations [3]. For the protection of environment, social development and economics benefits can be get by using renewable energy sources, because there is no requirement of fuel [6]. These resources avoid the fluctuations in prices and importing of fossil fuel. In developing countries like Pakistan, our main focus is to create jobs and the financial development, than focusing on the environment impacts; with the shift of consumers’ attention toward renewable energy, society will be more effective and efficient and enhancement in smart gird system [9]
