Abstract
Economics has severely limited the exploitation of wind energy to a few special situations, thus wasting a valuable energy source. One of the most costly aspects of a wind energy system is that of energy storage. It is therefore suggested that wind energy be utilized by systems having an inherent storage medium. One such system is studied in this paper. This is a chlorine and caustic soda production facility from the electrolysis of brine. By using wind speed data for Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and published data for the system components, yields of chemicals and for power are predicted. (A)
