TY - JOUR TI - Hybrid wind-power-distillation plant AU - Ninić Neven AU - Klarin Branko AU - Tolj Ivan JN - Thermal Science PY - 2012 VL - 16 IS - 1 SP - 251 EP - 261 PT - Article AB - This paper reports and elaborates on the idea of a solar distiller and an offshore wind power plant operating together. The subject under discussion is a single-stage solar distillation plant with vaporization, using adiabatic expansion in the gravitational field inside a wind power plant supporting column. This scheme divides investment costs for electric power and distillate production. In the region of the Adriatic Sea, all electric power produced could be “converted” to hydrogen using less than 10% of the distillate produced.
