    Modeling and Analysis of Heat Pump Integrated Pv-Wind Systems for a Commercial Greenhouse
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Çağlar, Başar; Çağlar, Başar; Bilir, Levent; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This thesis focuses on modeling and simulating renewable energy (RE) systems that include photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines (WT), and air source heat pumps (HP) for meeting the heating load of a commercial greenhouse (GH) in the agricultural zone in Dikili. Five different energy systems scenarios, namely (i) PV-HP, (ii) PV-WT-HP, (iii) WT-PV-HP, (iv) WT-HP, and (v) only HP were considered. For all scenarios the mismatch between the load and the generation was covered by grid. The second and third scenarios differ from each other based on the number of PVs and WTs. The design of the greenhouse was made with SketchUp and TRNSYS software based on dimensions of the greenhouse. According to the weather data and greenhouse parameters, solar radiation calculations were made, and the greenhouse system was modeled by MATLAB software. The annual heating and cooling demands of the designed greenhouse and electricity generation by PVs and WTs were calculated on an hourly basis. The heating and cooling loads were found to be 5,922,015 and 11,014,446 kWh/year, respectively. Since the maximum power output by RE for the reserved area is not sufficient to meet the cooling load, the cooling process was excluded. Economic and environmental analyzes were made. The first scenario including 5,271 PV panels and 20 HPs was found to be the best scenario. Net Present Value (NPV), Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and CO2 savings of the related scenario were calculated as $547,440.40, 0.080146 $/kWh and 1,270.96 t.

    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.

    Wind Turbine Control Via Power Measurements in Complex Terrain
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Bingöl, Ferhat; Bingöl, Ferhat; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This work presents an approach to the assessment of wind farm yaw control to utilize wake steering in complex terrain based on power measurements. Aerodynamic interactions between closely spaced wind turbines reduce the power output significantly. The standard wind turbine control strategy currently focuses on optimizing the wind turbines individually. However, there is growing evidence that these wake losses can be improved by optimizing for aerodynamic interactions between the turbines. In a case study, an assessment of wake steering gain and optimum yaw offset angles for each wind turbine are simulated for an operational wind farm. Wake losses are simulated for the wind farm and are validated using historical power measurements. Data analysis procedures for implementing operational wind farm data for the wake steering approach are described. Optimum yaw offset angles are calculated in simulations using operational data. A lookup table is generated for the optimum yaw angles required for each wind direction and speed bin. Using 5-year-long operational data, an average of 0.48% wake losses are calculated for the site. FLORIS simulations suggest 9.6% possible power improvement in wake losses using the optimum yaw offset angles. Using SCADA measurements for potential wake steering assessment allows rapid assessment and implementation without requiring expensive and year-long LIDAR or meteorological mast tower measurements.

    Wind Turbine Power Curve Update Based on Atmospheric Conditions and Structural Fatigue
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Bingöl, Ferhat; Gökçen Akkurt, Gülden; Bingöl, Ferhat; Gökçen Akkurt, Gülden; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Wind energy is still developing industry and people who work in this industry working hard to accomplish the difficulties. Problems are not arise only by nature of wind but technological developments, methods and even market pressure itself. Wind turbine theoretical power curves are given only for certain conditions and one can easily say that those conditions are not met in real sites. This difference generates a uncertainty in AEP calculations thus financial models become less reliable. Shifting power curve by taking atmospheric effects into account will give more realistic power curve thus more accurate AEP and financial models. In this study, effects of atmospheric conditions and correction methods on NREL 5MW wind turbines power curve have been investigated and importance of corrected power curve has been discussed.

    Frequency Control in an Isolated Power System With High Penetration of Wind Power
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Hassan, Ali; Altın, Müfit; Bingöl, Ferhat; Bingöl, Ferhat; Altın, Müfit; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    As the percentage of wind energy in global energy portfolio rises, the wind turbine control is becoming increasingly important for the integration of wind turbines in power systems. The early control objective of wind turbine control was only to maximize the power output but now the wind turbines are required to provide frequency control as well. To emulate the inertia response (IR) of the conventional synchronous machines the wind turbines can be provided with an inertia emulation controller. The modelling work presented in this thesis aims at equipping the modern Type D wind turbine with inertia response and primary frequency control capabilities. Two controllers — inertial and droop, are implemented and their frequency control capabilities are compared in an isolated power system consisting of a conventional steam turbine generator and a wind farm. A model of one Type D wind turbine is simulated and aggregated for the whole wind farm. The ability of wind turbines to provide inertial response (IR) and primary frequency control (PFC) after a frequency deviation shows a better performance than the case when there is no contribution to frequency control through wind turbines.
