    Sizing of Autonomous Wind/Solar Hybrid Energy Conversion Systems for Urla, Turkey
    (ACTA Press, 2009) Özerdem, Barış; Ekren, Orhan
    In this paper, an optimum sizing procedure of autonomous hybrid (wind + solar) energy system is presented which can be used to satisfy the requirements of given load distribution. The main purpose of this study is to find out an appropriate wind-photovoltaic hybrid energy system to satisfy electricity consumption of GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) base station at Izmir Institute of Technology Campus Area, Urla, Izmir, Turkey. To do this, monthly average daily solar radiation and wind speed data are collected. The monthly average wind speeds are measured at 10 m height during 3 years period on Izmir Institute of Technology Campus Area. The monthly average wind speed values are obtained between 5.7 and 7.7 m/s, on the other hand, the monthly average daily value of solar radiations on horizontal surfaces are ranged from 1.4 to 6.9kWh/m2 at Izmir Institute of Technology Campus Area. The hybrid system considered in the present analysis consists of one 5kW nominal power wind energy conversion systems (WECS), 21.82 m2 of photovoltaic (PV) panels (18 mono crystal PV panels each having 75 W power output) together with a battery storage system.

    Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on Solar Distillation of Iztech Campus Area Seawater
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Ayav, Pınar İlker; Atagündüz, Gürbüz
    The world demand for potable water is increasing steadily with growing population. Desalination using solar energy is suitable for potable water production from brackish and seawater. In this paper, we present a theoretical and experimental study of solar distillation in a single basin constructed at İzmir Institute of Technology Urla Campus. The still has a base area of 2100 mm × 700 mm with a glass cover inclined at 38°. In order to obtain extra solar energy, an aluminium reflector (2100 mm × 500 mm) is also assembled to the still. We model the still and conduct its energy balance equations under minor assumptions. We take into account the temperatures of glass cover, seawater interface, moist air and bottom in theoretical calculations and measurements. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental results highlights the benefits of the proposed model of the still and the efficacy of its energy balance equations.
