Combined Solution Featuring a Wind Turbine and an Air Source Heat Pump for Heating Systems

At the current consumption rate, the world's organic fuel reserves (gas, oil, coal, etc.) will be depleted in 50 to 100 years, which is why it is relevant to make use of secondary energy sources (heat released by electricity generation) and renewables (solar, wind, geothermal power, etc.) that have limited heating potential. Air source heat pumps are the most promising solution for indoor heating. However, they need electricity to work, and electricity can be produced from renewables. This paper presents an upgraded wind turbine (WT) that can be used to that end. What makes the results of this research relevant is that the design it proposes will incentivize a wider adoption of energy-saving systems based on renewable energy.
