With the increasing demand of electric power and the need of reducing greenhouse gas emission, the importance of turning wind energy at sea into electric power has never been more evident. For example, China is vigorously studying and pursuing the potential of wind energy to lessen dependence of coal consumption (McElroy et al., 2009). The White Paper on Energy (DTI, 2007) lays out an ambitious...

objective: the main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the energy consumption for drying of potato slices using vacuum-infrared drying method. methods: drying of potato slices with the thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3 mm were conducted at vacuum levels of zero (without vacuum), 20, 80 and 140 mm [hg], infrared radiation at power levels of 100, 150 and 200 w in the three repetition. resu...

We present a simple analysis of X-ray emission and absorption for hot-star winds, designed to explore the natural scalings of the observed X-ray luminosity with wind and stellar properties. We show that an exospheric approximation, in which all of the emission above the optical depth unity radius escapes the wind, reproduces very well the formal solution for radiation transport through a spheri...

Main objectives of the paper were to examine the complementary nature of solar and wind energy in primary and in “useful” form. Analyses are performed on real, measured solar and wind potential data at the same site. Solar irradiation and wind power density have been assessed as primary forms. In order to examine effects of their complementarity in real applications, i.e. in power systems, a hy...

The purpose of the study is to provide an economic justification application efficiency vertical axis wind-driven power plants using principle differential blade drag under low natural wind speeds from 1 15 m/s. estimated cost determined by resource-index method. Calculations are made in two stages: at first stage a statement compiled where consumption resources for design volume work according...

a detailed model of wind power station, including double fed induction generator, dfig is presented in this paper. two control mechanisms are included in the model. the inner control system uses stator flux oriented control for the rotor side converter and grid voltage vector control for the grid side converter. the outer control system is used for wind turbine pitch angle. pscad/emtdc is used ...

Over the centuries, energy has been supplied by wood, coke, coal, oil and natural gas, as well as by uranium (nuclear energy). All these energy sources are limited and at the same time these energy sources create pollution problems. This has led to the focus on a sustainable energy supply, which implies optimized use of energy, minimized pollution. That is why wind energy is prominent and it is...

The large-scale centralized development of wind and PV power resources is the key to China’s dual carbon targets clean energy transition. vast desert–Gobi–wilderness areas in northern western China will be best choice for renewable under multiple considerations endowment, land use constraints, technical conditions, economic level. It urgent carry out a quantitative resource assessment study are...

Several studies have determined that Mexico has great renewable energy potential, and one of its most abundant resources is solar energy, a source that could be exploited to provide development opportunities to its population, however it is necessary to calculate the amount of this source available. The aim of this study was to assess solar irradiance at urban communities in the Baja California...

Renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal and tides have increasingly been used to generate electricity. Among these energy sources wind power has gained enormous attention in many parts of the world where no fossil fuels exist and energy requirements are highly demanded. The efficiency of wind power mainly depends on wind produced and a generator converting wind power to electri...
