Renewable Energy Options for Power Generation and Desalination

This book examines simultaneous power generation and desalination driven by renewable energy systems. It covers all renewables, including solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, ocean and biomass as well as waste sources. This book also includes thermodynamic fundamentals, concepts, and system design, analysis and assessment studies, along with illustrative examples and case studies, for sustainable applications. It further provides an ample opportunity to learn more about cutting-edge technologies and newly developed systems for power generation and desalination.

Dr. Ibrahim Dincer is a Professor at Ontario Tech. University in Oshawa, Canada. Renowned for his pioneering works in the area of sustainable energy technologies he has authored/co-authored many books and book chapters, along with many refereed journal and conference papers. Prof. Dincer has chaired many national and international conferences, symposia, workshops and technical meetings, and he has delivered many keynotes and invited lectures. During the past eleven years he has been recognized by Thomson Reuters as one of the Most Influential Scientific Minds in Engineering and one of the most highly cited researchers. During the past 25 years Prof. Dincer’s research and activities have been diverse and primarily focused on sustainable energy solutions, sustainable communities and cities, district energy systems, green buildings, renewable energy technologies, energy storage technologies, hydrogen energy technologies, and waste to energy technologies. His group has developed various novel technologies for commercialization. He is known for his engineering education related talks as a committed educator.

Mert Temiz is a PhD candidate working under Prof. Dincer’s supervision in his group in the Clean Energy Research Laboratory at Ontario Tech. University in Oshawa, Canada, and his thesis study is about thermochemical hydrogen production and carbon capturing systems.
