Jordan is a country faced with several environmental and energy related issues. It is the Worlds' fourth most water deprived country with a water consumption of only 145 m3 per capita annually, less than a third of the established severe water poverty line. Jordan is also a country rich in wind and solar potential but practically no utilization with 99% of the produced electricity coming from imported...
The electricity production in S. Vicente is based on fossil fuel and wind power and, although there are significant wind resources, they are not fully used because of its intermittent nature. In a previous work, we proposed solutions to tackle this issue. Since this island does not have fresh water available, excess wind power can be provided to desalination units to produce desalinated water to supply...
This paper deals with the analysis of a specific HYS (hybrid energy system) from an overall energy efficiency aspect and also from an economical aspect. The hybrid energy system was purposely assembled from standard, market available energy technologies that are presently used in majority of building facilities, particularly in residential ones. Based on the previous aspect, the HYS was assembled...
Water resources are a crucial problem for a number of arid countries. One possible solution for this issue is the implementation of desalination but its utilization can greatly increase the demand for electricity. An important concept for a wide scale implementation of desalination is the integration of water and energy resources.Jordan is currently one of the most water deprived countries in the...
