Hybrid Wind-Solar Reliable Solution for Turkey to Meet Electric Demand
BALKAN JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL & COMPUTER ENGINEERING DOI: 10.17694/bajece.73922 62 Hybrid wind-solar reliable solution for Turkey to meet electric demand K. Dawood 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 Fig.1. Generation of electric power since 2011 [2] friendly. Turkey has many geographical location advantages one of them is renewable energy resources. Turkey has limited fossil fuel Figure 1 shows the generation of electricity in Turkey from resources and due to this reason Turkey must shift more electricity 2011 to 2015. Last year, more than 68 percent of total production to the renewable energy resources. Renewable energy has less environment impacts as compare to the fossil fuels but still electricity was generated by thermal power plants. renewable energy sources are not reliable and competitive as Approximately 5 percent of the electricity was generated from compare to the fossil fuels. The present study deals with the renewable assets of Turkey, 26 percent of electricity generated advantages of Hybrid renewable energy systems (Solar and Wind through hydropower plants. energy) in Turkey. Turkey is one of the richest country in the world in terms of Map of Turkey with high resources of solar-wind hybrid energy renewable resources. -

On November 22, 2015 the Government of Alberta announced its Climate Change Leadership Plan to 1) phase out all pollution created by burning coal and transition to more renewable energy and natural gas generation by 2030 and 2) limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil sands operations. -

Within this context, further progress is required towards the optimal exploitation of their potential, especially in terms of dispatchability, where the role of storage is considered vital. Although current literature delves into either storage per se or the integration of storage solutions in single renewable technologies, the comparative advantages of each technology remain underexplored. However, high-penetration solutions of renewable energy sources (RES) are expected to combine different technological options. Therefore, the conditions under which each technology outperforms their counterparts need to be thoroughly investigated, especially in cases where storage components are included. This paper aims to deal with this gap, by means of assessing the combination of three competing technologies, namely concentrated solar power (CSP), photovoltaics (PV) and offshore wind, with the storage component. The techno-economic assessment is based on two metrics; the levelized cost of electricity and the net present value. -

Branker, M. J. M. Pathak, J. M. Pearce Abstract As the solar photovoltaic (PV) matures, the economic feasibility of PV projects are increasingly being evaluated using the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) generation in order to be compared to other electricity generation technologies. Unfortunately, there is lack of clarity of reporting assumptions, justifications and degree of completeness in LCOE calculations, which produces widely varying and contradictory results. This paper reviews the methodology of properly calculating the LCOE for solar PV, correcting the misconceptions made in the assumptions found throughout the literature. -

An Overview of Turkey's Offshore Wind Energy Potential Evaluations INTRODUCTION TURKEY's INSTALLED ELECTRIC POWER PLANT CAPA
Turkish Journal of Scientific Reviews 9 (2): 55-58, 2016 ISSN: 1308-0040, E-ISSN: 2146-0132, www.nobel.gen.tr An Overview of Turkey’s Offshore Wind Energy Potential Evaluations Akın ILHAN1* Mehmet BILGILI2 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering and Architecture Faculty, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ceyhan Engineering Faculty, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey *Corresponding Author: Received: August 10, 2016 E-mail:[email protected] Accepted: November 15, 2016 Abstract This paper deals the existing condition of wind energy in Turkey and mainly focuses on the development of the offshore wind power. Wind energy potential and its feasibility in terms of techno-economic aspect, industrial progress and environmental concerns are studied. By 2015, the total installed offshore wind power capacity of the World has reached 12 GW of capacity. Unfortunately, this is not the case in Turkey because sufficient concerns are not given to the offshore technology and investments, although high potential of wind power density is available on the shores of Turkey. Annual and cumulative comparisons of wind energy throughout the years are also discussed in the context of this study. Territorial distribution of wind energy installations of Turkey is demonstrated that indicated offshore installations of wind power plants are also appropriate for power generation. Comparisons of wind energy potential of Turkey with Europe indicate that Turkey has more wind power potential both on land and sea; however, presently, installed wind power is less with respect to European countries. Potential of wind energy for Turkey was estimated to be 48,000 MW approximately, but current installed power capacity is only 4,718 MW until 2015. -
