Article Citation - Scopus: 1Transforming Crete's Sustainable Energy Landscape: a Modular Energy Island Approach(Wiley, 2025) Karipoğlu, Fatih; Karipoglu, Fatih; Ivankovic, Marin; Lukic, Tamara; Rebelo, Carlos; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe present paper investigates the conceptual design of a floating offshore renewable energy system-an energy island-developed to provide a sustainable long-term solution to support and expedite the transition toward renewable energy sources (RESs) as a case study in Crete Island, Greece. The optimal site selection in Crete's coastal waters was detected by carefully evaluating the potential for wind, solar, and wave energy alongside environmental and social considerations. Later, the current electricity demand was analyzed, leading to the identification of suitable technologies for renewable energy harvesting and the conceptualization of a floating structure. The findings of this research emphasize the viability of integrating diverse energy sources as a pivotal step for Crete Island to advance toward energy independence and environmental sustainability. Crete's abundant wind and solar resources underscore its capacity to host innovative projects, warranting further exploration into energy surplus storage and export.Article A Novel Approach by Combining Fuzzy Ahp and a Simulation Model To Analyze Suitability of Ports for Offshore Wind Farms(int Soc offshore Polar Engineers, 2025) Ozturk, Samet; Karipoğlu, Fatih; Karipoglu, Fatih; Efe, Burak; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study presents a comprehensive suitability analysis for assessing the serviceability of existing container ports for offshore wind farms (OWFs) in Turkey, utilizing a combination of fuzzy analytical hierarchy process with Arena simulation modeling. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of offshore wind port infrastructure that integrates a multi-criteria decision making process with an Arena simulation model tailored specifically for existing container ports. The results indicate that technical criteria are deemed most critical, carrying the highest weight (0.563), with expansion potential identified as the most impactful criterion within the technical category. In addition, the study employs the Arena simulation software to forecast the operational workload on the most suitable ports following potential OWF installations.Article Citation - WoS: 1GIS-AHP APPROACH FOR A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK TO DETERMINE THE SUITABLE REGIONS FOR GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANTS IN IZMIR, TURKIYE(Konya Teknik Univ, 2024) Karipoğlu, Fatih; Karipoglu, Fatih; Ozturk, Emel Zeray; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyGeothermal energy is gaining more reputation and importance around the world. Correspondingly, suitable location selection is a critical step and has become necessary for the successful installation and operation of geothermal power plants. This study investigated suitability of & Idot;zmir region, located in the Aegean part of T & uuml;rkiye, in terms of geothermal power plants applications by using the combination of Geographical Information System and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Based on the request of power plants, thirteen important criteria were evaluated under three main categories named as physical (C1), environmental (C2) and technical (C3). Moreover, expert's opinions were taken into consideration to calculate the importance of these criteria. Key results showed that & Idot;zmir was suitable for geothermal power plants. The final suitability map layer pointed out that %8.73 (1.037 km2) of total area were determined as highly suitable regions in terms of installation. In addition, the obtained suitability map layer was compared with actual geothermal power plants. Based on the comparison study, power plants in Seferihisar were moderately suitable for geothermal power plants while the location of Bal & ccedil;ova power plant was highly suitable. Regarding the suitability assessment in the present study, the location of Dikili power plants had the least suitability score.
