Abstract
Variations in wind speed, direction, and temperature, over both time and space, make it difficult to harness any appreciable portion of a tremendous energy source, i. e. wind energy, with reasonable economic costs. Wind energy storage and transmission are the most costly aspects of wind energy systems. To circumvent this problem, it is proposed to utilize wind energy by means of wind energy systems with an inherent storage medium. One such system, used for the production of hydrogen, chlorine, and caustic soda from electrolysis of brine, is studied in this research. The proposed system is composed of a wind generator, a transformer, rectifier diodes, and electrolysis cells. An electrical equivalent model of the system that takes the variations in the system frequency and output power into account is developed. By using wind data for Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, yield of chemicals and available electrical power from the system are predicted.
