| description | This paper concerns with exploitation of renewable
energy sources for meeting energy requirements of remote
locations. It presents an investigation which is based on a
practical project that was executed in collaboration between
academia and industry. It involves design and installation of a
prototype integrated renewable energy system which consists of
two 15 kW wind turbines, electrolyser, fuel cell system (FCS)
and the associated control equipment. It was installed at the
furthest island of Shetland, North of Scotland, U.K. The
philosophy used in designing this system is summarised as
follows: During times of high wind, the electricity generated by
wind turbines is normally greater than that required by site
electrical load. The excessive amount of generated electricity is
stored into Hydrogen by utilising an electrolyser which is then
used to generate the deficient electric power by the FCS at times
of low wind. |
