    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2025) Çağlar, Başar; Çağlar, Başar; Fard, Mousa Mohammadpour; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Geleneksel çimento üretim yöntemlerine kıyasla daha yeşil enerji sistemleri alternatiflerini keşfetmek için çimento üretiminin enerji ve ekserji analizi çalışılmıştır. İki farklı yeşil enerji senaryosu dikkate alınmıştır. Temel senaryo geleneksel çimento üretimidir. İlk senaryoda atık rüzgar türbini kanatlarının pirolizi ve gaz türbini çimento fabrikasına entegre edilmiştir ve elektrik ihtiyacı gaz türbini tarafından karşılanmıştır. Aynı zamanda hammadde piroliz ünitesinin katı ürününden sağlanmıştır. Bu senaryo için sıcak akımları kullanmak üzere bir ön ısıtma sistemi düşünülmüştür. İkinci senaryoda, PEM elektrolizörü de çimento fabrikasına dahil edilmiştir. Burada kömürle değiştirilmek üzere PEM elektrolizöründen hidrojen üretilmiştir. Tüm senaryoların termodinamik modellemesi Engineering Equation Solver (EES) yazılımı aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Temel senaryonun enerji ve ekserji verimliliği sırasıyla % 61,60 ve % 20,21 olarak bulunmuştur. Termodinamik analiz dışında, özgül enerji tüketimi (SEC) ve CO2 emisyonları hesaplanmıştır. En düşük SEC, 1704 kJ/kg olan senaryo 1 ile elde edilmiştir. CO2 emisyonları, 0,219 kg CO2/kg çimento ile senaryo 2 için minimum olarak sonuçlanmıştır. Tüm bunlar göz önüne alınarak, daha yeşil ve daha az enerji tüketen bir sistem oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır.

    Techno-Economic Optimization of Pv-Wind Hybrid Systems
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Demirdal, İlke; Çağlar, Başar; Çağlar, Başar; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, the technoeconomic optimization of hybrid renewable energy systems were investigated for a small community with 50 households located in Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) Campus, Izmir. The renewable-based power systems have received significant attentions recently due to the recent effort for the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but their technical and economical feasibilities for different sectors and application areas and the related optimum system configurations haven’t been clearly addressed. To fill this research gap, PV-battery and wind turbine-battery system were analyzed for a small community from technical and economic point of views and the most economic configurations were explored for different level of grid-dependency by using the Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP) method. The annual electricity load profile was built in hourly basis based on the monthly total electricity consumption of each house and electricity consumption habits of residents. PV and wind turbine power outputs, the involvement of batteries were modelled in MATLAB/Simulink considering the meteorological data (IZTECH Meteorological Mast and NASA POWER), types of PV panel, wind turbine and battery. The mismatch between energy demand and supply was determined and different hybrid configurations were considered to cover this mismatch to different extents. The optimum number of PV panel, wind turbine and batteries were determined and the levelized cost of electricity were calculated for each scenario. The most economic configuration is the one consisting of 3 wind turbines and 7 batteries with 49.62% energy utilization from the grid.

    Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems Design for Green Campus-Iztech
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Çağlar, Başar; Çağlar, Başar; Açıkkalp, Emin; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This study focuses on evaluating of standalone PV and Wind systems integrated with energy storage technologies to meet the electricity needs of the Izmir Institute of Technology campus in Izmir. University campuses with their high energy demand are one of the most important application areas for renewable energy systems and it’s critical to determine the types of renewable energy technologies, their size, and techno-economic feasibility for possible future implementation. Solar and wind energy were chosen as renewable energy sources based on the location and renewable energy potential of the IZTECH Campus. Two different energy storage systems are proposed to prevent any loss of power supply in standalone mode: (i) Lead-acid battery and (ii) Electrolyzer, hydrogen storage tank, and hydrogen-powered generator. Models were developed using the dynamic library-based structure of the TRNSYS program. The hourly electrical load was generated based on monthly data taken from the electricity supplier and the power output of PV modules was calculated based on the fixed tilt angle based on real meteorological data for the campus location. The electricity demand and generation were analyzed hourly for one calendar year. The number of PV modules was determined to meet the annual electricity demand of the campus while the capacity and number of energy storage modules were determined based on the maximum accumulative energy deficiency in a year. The round-trip efficiencies and the depth of discharge for the battery and the hydrogen storage efficiency for the hydrogen-based storage option were considered in the analysis. Parameters were calculated for both systems and simulation analyzes were evaluated. An economic cost analysis was performed for each system. In addition, suggestions are made for possible system improvements.

    Effects of Grid Design on Lead-Acid Battery Performance
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) İşler, Tuğçe; Top, Ayben; Ebil, Özgenç; Ebil, Özgenç; Top, Ayben; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In today’s world, approximately 88 percent of the total energy demand is supplied by fossil fuels; however, it has become clear that; other energy sources are needed due to limited fossil fuels. The demand for energy can most effectively be filled by renewable energy sources as installed energy storage capacity is growing rapidly. If renewable energy sources advance enough to fulfill the high demand, earth-friendly, clean and sustainable energy will help to protect the environment, thus ensuring a healthier life for future generations. Energy storage systems are essential in this endeavor, and in order to become more prevalent, storage systems for renewable energy sources must supply electricity without interruption as much as possible. As an electrochemical storage, a battery with a high level of performance, high energy density and life cycle could offer a viable solution for electricity storage provided that battery cost should be economically viable. This thesis aims to improve the geometry of the grid used in lead acid batteries in order to obtain a more uniform current and potential distribution, and minimize the potential drop for improved battery performance. A 3D mathematical model was developed using finite element method to evaluate the behavior of the grid under various conditions. Five different porous grid geometries were simulated under different loads and optimum grid geometry was identified. The 3D mathematical model of the lead-acid battery based on finite element method was simulated under certain conditions in order to evaluate the effect of grid geometry on battery performance.

    Turkish state has opened a new possibility on investing small or micro scale energy production without license in 2014. This is a new step in Turkish energy market and two renewable energy sources are considered to be the main interest; wind and solar. Although there are studies covering both technology separately, currently there is no hybrid system assessment methodology and results for the country. This thesis aims to create a quantified hybrid energy capacity of Turkey. The study will include total energy capacity of a given location based on small scale wind and solar and furthermore would be able to suggest an optimum balance between these two sources to get the maximum production capacity out. The study does not cover areas that such investment cannot be done; environmental protected areas, historical places, city centers etc.

    Renewable energy resources have gained the great importance due to the growing concerns of environmental problems. The integrated utilization of renewable energies such assolar and wind are becoming very attractive, especially, in most of the isolated and remote areas in many parts of the world.In the present study, firstly, wind and solar radiation measurements, made on Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) Campus area, have been analyzed in order to determine the, both, solar and wind energy potentials of the location. The monthly average wind speeds range from 5.7 m/s to 7.7 m/s, the monthly average of daily values of solar radiation range from 2.1 kWh/m2 to 5.7 kWh/m2 at the monitoring station throughout the measurement period of 12 months between 01.01.2002 and 31.12.2002.Secondly, a procedure is described which determines the hybrid system parameters such as photovoltaic (PV) array area and rotor swept area of wind turbine while satisfying a specific load distribution. The employed method is a graphical construction to figure out the optimum configuration of the generators that satisfies the energy demand mentioned above.
