Overview of wind/diesel systems

N.H. Lipman

Renewable Energy, 1994, vol. 5, issue 1, 595-617

Abstract: This overview is made up of three main elements : 1.1) A look at the main design questions for wind/diesel systems. The criteria affecting design choices for the diesel sets, wind turbines and energy stores are looked at briefly.2.2) Examples of current Research and Development and Demonstration projects are given, ranging from small supplies of a few kW to large systems up to 1MW.3.3) There is a separate discussion of the largest systems (multimegawatt) which include a number of diesel sets on an isolated grid, and which permit “multiple-diesel strategies” to be operated.
