“…A cost-benefit analysis was performed and the results indicated that an 80% penetration of wind energy into the power system of Corvo Island coupled with the introduction of hydrogen energy storage was profitable both from the perspectives of the investor and the society. Ipsakis et al (2009) has also proposed a small to medium scale stand-alone hybrid power system based on a PV array and wind generators that stores the excessive energy from renewable energy sources in the form of hydrogen via water electrolysis. Their aim was to use the power system in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell planned for operation at Neo Olvio of Xanthi in Greece.…”

“…This was assessed by Ipsakis et al (2009) The potential of solar-driven humidification-dehumidification (HD) desalination for smallscale decentralized water production has been reviewed in detail by Narayan et al (2010). It was found that among all HD systems, the multi-effect closed air open water (CAOW) water-heated system is the most energy efficient.…”

Recent trends and challenges in applications of INTRODUCTIONAdequate and dependable fresh water resources are major issues confronting many nations worldwide (Maila, 2006;Goosen et al., 2011aGoosen et al., & 2011bHuang, 2010; Lund, 2007; Mahmoudi et al., 2010a Mahmoudi et al., & 2010b. With the world's energy demand increasing much research has been directed at overcoming these challenges and in particular in using renewable energy to help meet the power needs for water desalination (Huang, 2010; Lund, 2007; Mahmoudi et al., 2010a;Serpen et al., 2010). However, Goosen (2012) and Gottinger and Goosen (2012) argued that while development opens up and advances economies, and creates new wealth, millions are forced to struggle to make meaning of the darker side of development that is not environmentally sustainable. In the past, the world's ecosystems (i.e. air, land and water) were able to absorb the environmental damage resulting from extensive industrialization and development. Nevertheless, with the rapid increases in global population and industrialization, as well as enhanced demands on natural resources such as fresh water supplies, the earth is no longer able to sustain a healthy and balanced ecosystem (Laboy-Nieves, 2009; Laboy et al., 2009; Mahmoudi et al., 2010a Mahmoudi et al., , 2010b Misra, 2000). The sustainability of the society in which we live is determined not only by technical and economic progress, but also by environmental management (Abdulla et al., 2009; Gottinger and Goosen, 2012; Laboy et al., 2010; Maila, 2006). Sustainable development using more renewable energy sources, by improving energy efficiency and reducing water demand and waste production is now considered by many as being the model to follow (Goosen et al., 2004; Goosen, et al., 2009aGoosen, et al., , 2009b Misra, 2000). Elimelech and Philip (2011), for example, reported on the possible reductions in energy demand by desalination technologies, and the role of innovative technologies in improving the sustainability of desalination as a technological solution to global water shortages ( Figure 1). They argued that future research to improve the energy efficiency of desalination should focus on, for example, the pre-treatment and posttreatment stages of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants. Furthermore, Peñate & García-Rodríguez (2012a) presented a comprehensive review of the main innovations and future trends in the design of SWRO desalination technology with an emphasis on improving process performance and efficiency. They concluded that desalination with renewable energies is an attractive combination that will help to reduce stress on existing water supplies.The economic potential and environmental benefits of renewable energies, such as geothermal, solar, wave and wind, and their applications to reducing overall energy requirements have been described in a number of recent articles (Cataldi, et al., 1999;Huang, 2010;Goosen et al., 2011b; Lund, 2007; Mahmoudi et al., 2010a;Serpen et al., 2010;Stefansson, 2005)....

“…Cluster VI, "Hydrogen production based on renewable energy" was re-clusterized into four clusters, as shown in Table 8, and their number of publications per year is shown Figure 7. Cluster VI-A "Power management of a stand-alone system for the storage of renewable energy as hydrogen" explores the development of a stand-alone power system based on renewable energy, mainly photovoltaic energy [125,126]. The focus of this cluster is not only efficient hydrogen production, but system management to automate power generation.…”

Abstract:Water electrolysis for hydrogen production has received increasing attention, especially for accumulating renewable energy. Here, we comprehensively reviewed all water electrolysis research areas through computational analysis, using a citation network to objectively detect emerging technologies and provide interdisciplinary data for forecasting trends. The results show that all research areas increase their publication counts per year, and the following two areas are particularly increasing in terms of number of publications: "microbial electrolysis" and "catalysts in an alkaline water electrolyzer (AWE) and in a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer (PEME).". Other research areas, such as AWE and PEME systems, solid oxide electrolysis, and the whole renewable energy system, have recently received several review papers, although papers that focus on specific technologies and are cited frequently have not been published within the citation network. This indicates that these areas receive attention, but there are no novel technologies that are the center of the citation network. Emerging technologies detected within these research areas are presented in this review. Furthermore, a comparison with fuel cell research is conducted because water electrolysis is the reverse reaction to fuel cells, and similar technologies are employed in both areas. Technologies that are not transferred between fuel cells and water electrolysis are introduced, and future water electrolysis trends are discussed.

“…Conventional control methods [16,[18][19][20][21] may evolve into complex and advanced control methods through an intelligent controller [4,22,23]. A previous control method employed analog circuitry [24] by using a power controller consisting of a switching regulator (LTC 1435IS) and a current sensor (LTC 1621IGN).…”

Abstract:A hybrid renewable power generation system is proposed through parallel connection between two potential energy resources: photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. The method consists of incorporating a buck converter connected by a wind turbine to provide adjustment according to PV potential. Unlike the conventional buck-boost converter topology that is normally used, this research tries to emphasize the use of a buck converter as part of the system configuration. Design schemes were carefully performed and the postdesign system was tested through system simulation with MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulated system offers promising and significant results, thus making it suitable for hardware implementation.
