ÖZET: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin jeotermal enerji bakımından zengin bir kaynağa sahip ili olan Afyonkarahisar için yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları potansiyeli incelenmiştir. Güncel veriler kullanılarak güneşlenme süresi ve güneş enerjisi potansiyeli ele alınmıştır. Afyonkarahisar merkez, dinar ve Sultandağı istasyonlarının saatlik rüzgâr hızı verileri kullanılarak Weibull ve Rayleigh dağılımları hesaplanmıştır. Her istasyon için 2010 ve 2011 yıllarına ait aylık rüzgâr güç yoğunluğu belirlenmiştir. Weibull ve Rayleigh dağılımlarının performansları karşılaştırılmış ve Rayleigh dağılımın daha kararlı sonuçlar ürettiği görülmüştür.

This area has got a rich potential with regard to geothermal energy. The sunshine duration and the solar energy potential are discussed using up to date data. Weibull and Rayleigh distributions were calculated by using hourly wind velocity data measured in Afyonkarahisar, Dinar and Sultandağı stations. The wind power density of the years 2010 and 2011 is determined for each station. Comparing the performance of the Weibull and Rayleigh distribution and the Rayleigh distribution has been shown to produce more stable results.

Electric motors that convert electrical energy into motion are one of the basic components of automation systems. In these systems, either linear or circular motion is needed. Linear motion can be obtained either from motors that generate circular motion with the help of ancillary equipment or directly by the means of a linear motor. Obtaining linear motion from motors that produce rotary motion leads to additional costs and reduced efficiency. Linear motors, on the other hand, eliminate the need for conversion mechanisms. Despite this advantage, linear motors have some disadvantages, such as length limitation and low force/current ratio. In this study, a novel Cylindrical Direct Current Linear Motor (CDCLM) with high force/current ratio and no length limitation (long stroke) has been developed. Analyses of the developed motor has been performed with an analytical method. In addition, detailed numerical analyses have been carried out in an Ansys-Maxwell environment. A prototype of the designed DC linear motor has been implemented in a laboratory environment and experimental analyses have been carried out. The results of analytical, numerical and experimental analyses have been compared.
