Hybrid wind-solar reliable solution for Turkey to meet electric demand

Abstract

Energy is the most important part of life, it is essential for social and economic development. Turkey is importing more than half of the energy from other countries to produce electricity by thermal plants. Air pollution is also becoming quite a big problem for Turkey due to the thermal production of the energy. One of the most effective solution for air pollution is renewable energy because nowadays renewable energy is environment friendly. Turkey has many geographical location advantages one of them is renewable energy resources. Turkey has limited fossil fuel resources and due to this reason Turkey must shift more electricity production to the renewable energy resources. Renewable energy has less environment impacts as compare to the fossil fuels but still renewable energy sources are not reliable and competitive as compare to the fossil fuels. The present study deals with the advantages of Hybrid renewable energy systems (Solar and Wind energy) in Turkey. Map of Turkey with high resources of solar-wind hybrid energy is also presented in this paper. Integration of Wind and solar energy into the Turkish energy will be one of the main tools in responding to the growing electricity demand because it will decrease the dependence of energy on single method. In addition, non-renewable energy is also compared with the renewable energy sources on the economical basis.

Effectiveness of interventions to convert the energy consumption of an educational building to zero energy

“…Another abundant and reliable resource of renewable energy is solar power. Solar potential is excessive in Turkey due to the specific location (Dawood, 2016) especially in the southern part of Turkey (approximately 1,330 kW/m 2 per year) (Karaduman, 2015). It is worthwhile to mention each gigawatt solar power installation can produce roughly the size of two coal-fired power plants which is enough energy to power about 750,000 homes (Dellinger, 2021;Hull, 2011).…”

“…Figure 2 shows that electricity consumption of Turkey has increased rapidly after 2000 with the support of the fast growing economy and population [1,2]. Furthermore this trend seems to be continuing in the future [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. 1 Department of Electrical and Energy, University of Marmara, Istanbul, TR, (satis@marmara.edu.tr) https://orcid.org/0000-0002-…”

“…There is a gradually expanding capacity for wind power in Turkey, especially in the Aegean and Marmara regions. Wind energy production capacity in Turkey has increased significantly from 20MW to 4503MW in 13 years, from 2002 to 2015 (Dawood, 2016). Also, because of its advantageous position between the Middle East and Southeast Europe, Turkey has a high potential for solar energy, mainly in Mediterranean regions and South Eastern Anatolia.…”

“…Also, because of its advantageous position between the Middle East and Southeast Europe, Turkey has a high potential for solar energy, mainly in Mediterranean regions and South Eastern Anatolia. The potential of solar energy production in Turkey is 977,000 TWh/year, however due to technical limitations production of 6105 TWh/year is possible (Dawood, 2016). Furthermore, there is a high bio energy potential in Turkey.…”
