Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5A Smart Building Energy Management Incorporating Clustering-Based Tariffs in the Presence of Domestic Solar Energy, Battery, and Electric Vehicle(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Alilou, Masoud; Mohammadi-ivatloo, Behnam; Mohammadpourfard, MousaSmart buildings play a crucial role in optimizing energy management within the power network. As end-users of the power network, they have the ability to not only reduce economic costs for householders but also modify the technical indices of the power network. To promote efficient device management in smart homes (SH), demand response programs are recommended for consumers. This research investigates the application of clusteringbased electricity pricing strategy aimed at effectively managing the energy devices of a residential smart home. The utilized method categorizes the electricity tariff into five rates according to the clustering of the realtime pricing program. Ward's clustering method is utilized to cluster and determine new electricity tariffs. The primary goal of the energy management program is to minimize the building's energy cost, which is accomplished through the utilization of the multi-verse optimizer. The smart home consists of essential and manageable appliances, a photovoltaic panel (PV), a sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery, and an electric vehicle (EV). The initial parameters of the PV and EV are modeled stochastically by their probability distribution functions and calculated using the Latin hypercube sampling algorithm. The smart building's performance is assessed by taking into account various demand response programs. The numerical results present that the application of the clusteringbased management method has resulted in a significant reduction of 23-43 % in the electricity cost of smart homes. Additionally, the smart home exhibits a more linear consumption pattern when considering the electricity tariffs based on the clustering approach.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 24A Gis-Based Fahp and Fedas Analysis Framework for Suitable Site Selection of a Hybrid Offshore Wind and Solar Power Plant(Elsevier B.V., 2023) Karipoğlu, Fatih; Ozturk, S.; Efe, B.This study presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) based suitable site selection methodology for a hybrid system that includes offshore wind and solar PV. The methodology utilizes open source databases about decision criteria and applies this data using GIS to determine suitable sites for offshore wind and solar PV systems. For the assessment of multi-criteria which affect the potential hybrid energy power plants and the determination of the best suitable areas, Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy Evaluation based on Distance Average Solution (FEDAS) are used in the study. Results show that technical criteria has the priority weight of 0.60 while the weight of social criteria is about 0.07. Among sub-criteria, the wind speed has the highest priority weight while distance to port and visibility are the highest criteria of priority weight under economic and social main criteria, respectively. Among the alternatives, Area 2 (A-2) is determined as the best alternative for hybrid offshore power plants in the study area. This proposed methodology can be utilized by decision-makers to determine the best suitable locations for hybrid offshore wind and solar PV systems at any location. This paper suggests a new approach integrating GIS, fuzzy setbased AHP and EDAS as a novelty. © 2023 International Energy InitiativeBook Part Citation - Scopus: 1A New Stable Solar System for Electricity, Cooling, Heating, and Potable Water Production in Sunny Coastal Areas(Springer, 2023) Khani, Leyla; Mohammadpourfard, MousaNowadays, more attention is paid to provide clean energy products with low environmental pollution in a decentralized way. Many coastal rural areas suffer from freshwater and electricity scarcity, especially in hot weather condition. Meanwhile, these regions have a great access to intense solar radiation and seawater. Hence, it seems logical to use the available solar energy in those places to provide to necessities like power, heating, and cooling. A new solar cooling, power, heating, and freshwater production system is designed, evaluated, and optimized in this research. The proposed system is composed of several subsystems to generate each product with high efficiency and reliability. Solar energy is unavailable at night, so molten salt energy storage is used to establish the steady operation of the system. Then, the system is evaluated from thermodynamic and exergoeconomic viewpoints, and a parametric study is accomplished to study the effect on the system performance of key variables. In the end, the system is optimized to determine its best operating condition for different cases. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article Citation - WoS: 77Citation - Scopus: 95Thermal, Daylight, and Energy Potential of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (bipv) Systems: a Comprehensive Review of Effects and Developments(Elsevier, 2023) Taşer, Aybüke; Kundakçı Koyunbaba, Başak; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeAccording to energy consumption data of the European Union, buildings account for 40 % of overall energy consumption in all sectors. The rise in building energy demand seriously affects global warming. To reduce demand, buildings must be designed to be energy-efficient. As part of energy-efficiency initiatives, unique systems that employ renewable energy sources should be implemented in buildings. As a new technology, building-integrated photovoltaics is considered an essential technology to achieve this target. Several variables affect the thermal, daylight, and energy performance of building-integrated photovoltaic systems; related to environmental and photovoltaic-related parameters. Thus, the challenges and effects of these variables on the overall performance of these systems should be investigated. This research analyzes building-integrated photovoltaic implemented studies and presents a state-of-art review of recent developments. The study not only summarizes the existing studies developed in this field so far but also analyzes the variables and makes concrete generalizations and inferences. It enables finding gaps and deficiencies in the literature and provides a better understanding of all the variables that affect the performance of building-integrated photovoltaic systems by interpreting the results in detail and representing them graphically instead of only through textual analysis. Results show that building-integrated photovoltaics contribute to constructing a sustainable future for cities. Developments in this industry motivate researchers in this field, whose work will make it easier to cope with future ecological challenges. It helps to build a more sustainable future for society. With new developments, it will be possible to mitigate the effects of future environmental problems.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Highly Mobile Excitons in Single Crystal Methylammonium Lead Tribromide Perovskite Microribbons(American Chemical Society, 2022) McClintock, Luke; Song, Ziyi; Travaglini, H. Clark; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Chandrasekaran, Vigneshwaran; Htoon, Han; Yarotski, Dmitry; Yu, DongExcitons are often given negative connotation in solar energy harvesting in part due to their presumed short diffusion lengths. We investigate exciton transport in single-crystal methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) microribbons via spectrally, spatially, and temporally resolved photocurrent and photoluminescence measurements. Distinct peaks in the photocurrent spectra unambiguously confirm exciton formation and allow for accurate extraction of the low temperature exciton binding energy (39 meV). Photocurrent decays within a few μm at room temperature, while a gate-tunable long-range photocurrent component appears at lower temperatures (about 100 μm below 140 K). Carrier lifetimes of 1.2 μs or shorter exclude the possibility of the long decay length arising from slow trapped-carrier hopping. Free carrier diffusion is also an unlikely source of the highly nonlocal photocurrent, due to their small fraction at low temperatures. We attribute the long-distance transport to high-mobility excitons, which may open up new opportunities for novel exciton-based photovoltaic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Multi-Objective Optimization of a Novel Supercritical Co2 Cycle-Based Combined Cycle for Solar Power Tower Plants Integrated With Sofc and Lng Cold Energy and Regasification(Wiley, 2022) Taheri, Muhammad Hadi; Khani, Leyla; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa; Aminfar, Habib; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenThis study presents a new system for solar power, which is generated through a solar power tower with a molten salt cycle. To increase the consumption of energy losses, besides the closed supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton cycle, a liquid natural gas (LNG) open-cycle was used as a heat sink alongside a cascade organic Rankine cycle with the capability of working at low temperatures. LNG is implemented for a solid oxide fuel cell input, after cooling down the power generation systems and power generation. Besides the economic and thermodynamic analysis, destruction of exergy has been controlled and parametric studies are performed to investigate the influence of relative factors on the performance of the system. To optimize the system, a genetics algorithm has been employed by considering two reciprocal objective functions of the total cost rate and the exergy efficiency. The results of multi-objective optimization show that the optimized point has a total product cost rate of $115.3/h and an exergy efficiency of 71%. Furthermore, exergy analysis shows that the molten salt heat exchangers and the LNG heat exchangers have the maximum rates of irreversibility and must be taken into consideration as a major priority for optimization.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Sizing of Autonomous Wind/Solar Hybrid Energy Conversion Systems for Urla, Turkey(ACTA Press, 2009) Özerdem, Barış; Ekren, OrhanIn 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.

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.
