ScienceDirect - Renewable Energy : Opportunities for hydrogen production in connection with wind power in weak grids

This paper gives an overview of the opportunities that exist for combining wind power and hydrogen (H2) production in weak grids. It is described how H2 storage can be applied in both isolated and grid-connected systems, and how the produced H2 can be utilized for stationary energy supply and/or as a fuel for transportation. The paper discusses the benefits and limitations of the different H2 storage applications, and presents a logistic simulation model for performance evaluation of wind-H2 plants. A case study simulating the use of excess wind power in a weak distribution grid to produce H2 for vehicles has been presented. It is shown that the penetration of wind power can be significantly increased by introducing electrolytic H2 production as a controllable load. The results also indicate that there are large benefits of using the grid as backup for H2 production in periods with low wind speed, regarding the H2 storage sizing and the electrolyser operating conditions.

ScienceDirect - Renewable Energy : Urban wind energy conversion: The potential of ducted turbines

The prospects for urban wind power are discussed. A roof-mounted ducted wind turbine, which uses pressure differentials created by wind flow around a building, is proposed as an alternative to more conventional approaches. Outcomes from tests at model and prototype scale are described, and a simple mathematical model is presented. Predictions from the latter suggest that a ducted turbine can produce very high specific power outputs, going some way to offsetting its directional sensitivity. Further predictions using climate files are made to assess annual energy output and seasonal variations, with a conventional small wind turbine and a photovoltaic panel as comparators. It is concluded that ducted turbines have significant potential for retro-fitting to existing buildings, and have clear advantages where visual impact and safety are matters of concern.

Wind electricity in Denmark: A survey of policies, their effectiveness and factors motivating their introduction

This paper surveys the development of the policies supporting the introduction of wind electricity in Denmark in the last 15 years, with special attention to the new policy introduced after a 2-year long debate. The aim of this paper is to explore the roles of financial support, policy certainty and planning constraints in the diffusion of wind electricity in Denmark and the reasons prompting the change of the system in the current decade. It is discovered that political uncertainty has badly affected the effectiveness of the feed-in law in the years immediately after its introduction. With regard to the new system, it is concluded that the change has been prompted by generous conditions under the feed-in law and by the desire to facilitate the modernisation of old turbines. It is also concluded that incentive-based systems can be more effective than tradable quotas in promoting the modernisation of renewable plants. This finding is relevant to the development of energy policy in countries such as Germany and Spain, where the average age of wind turbines is much younger than those existing in Denmark.
