Renewable energy-driven innovative energy-efficient desalination technologies

Seawater desalination using renewable energy sources

The origin and continuation of mankind is based on water. Water is one of the most abundant resources on earth, covering three-fourths of the planet’s surface. However, about 97% of the earth’s water is salt water in the oceans, and a tiny 3% is fresh water. This small percentage of the earth’s water—which supplies most of human and animal needs—exists in ground water, lakes and rivers. The onl...

Evaluation of Energy Storage Technologies and Applications Pinpointing Renewable Energy Resources Intermittency Removal

Renewable energy sources (RES), especially wind power plants, have high priority of promotion in the energy policies worldwide. An increasing share of RES and distributed generation (DG), should, as has been assumed, provide improvement in reliability of electricity delivery to the customers. Paper presented here concentrates on electricity storage systems technologies and applications pinpoint...

Energy Storage Technologies for Utility Scale Intermittent Renewable Energy Systems

In current conventional utility systems, fossil fuel or nuclear power plants must back up intermittent renewable electricity generators if the utility grid is to have acceptable reliability. For low levels of intermittent power, this can be achieved without difficulty or added expense. For high levels this reliance on other generators becomes explicit and increasingly expensive, and transmissio...
