Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Air Density Calculation at High Altitude Locations for Wind Energy Use: the Alpines Validation(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Bingöl, FerhatAtmospheric air density has an essential role in the energy production of wind turbines. It is directly proportional to the power taken out from the airflow. The common practice at a planned wind farm location is to measure atmospheric parameters and calculate the air density as monthly and yearly averages based on the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM). After that, the reference point is used to calibrate spatial data to study the siting of wind turbines at a large spatial domain of interest using an engineering method based on only temperature and elevation a.m.s.l. The engineering method is also employed with only temperature and elevation data when there are no pressure and relative humidity measurements. The point-to-spatial transformation is done through the simplified engineering formula, and it is known that the method is primarily valid up to (Formula presented.) a.m.s.l. Above these elevations, the engineering methods have a significant bias, up to (Formula presented.) error in estimating the air density. This bias leads to a substantial error in energy yield estimations. This study uses more than one in-situ measurement at high altitude locations to calibrate the engineering method at the Alpine Convention Perimeter. It aims to improve the calculation accuracy by calculating the pressure gradient within the region. It is found that the seasonal and yearly averaging errors can be improved by (Formula presented.) to (Formula presented.) in the air density calculation with the new approach. The method can be applied to other locations with similar conditions.Article Comparison of Length Scale Parameterization Methodologies(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020) Tuna, Faruk; Bingöl, FerhatAtmospheric stability has been studied for decades. There are several methodologies that evolved over the years. In this study, a special experimental meteorological mast that has been erected to a complex site has been used to calculate dimensionless Obukhov length (zeta), dimensionless momentum (phi m), and heat coefficients (phi h). The results are compared with the ones from average value approaches: Richardson number, flux-profile (F-P) relations, and wind shear exponent methods. The results show that the estimated zeta values, using the bulk Richardson number, get along well with the reference zeta within the neutral and stable regimes. F-P relations and wind shear exponent methods result in the best agreement for stable and neutral regimes. Nevertheless, average oriented methods are not reliable for the other regimes.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 20Comparison of Weibull Estimation Methods for Diverse Winds(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2020) Bingöl, FerhatWind farm siting relies on in situ measurements and statistical analysis of the wind distribution. The current statistical methods include distribution functions. The one that is known to provide the best fit to the nature of the wind is the Weibull distribution function. It is relatively straightforward to parameterize wind resources with the Weibull function if the distribution fits what the function represents but the estimation process gets complicated if the distribution of the wind is diverse in terms of speed and direction. In this study, data from a 101 m meteorological mast were used to test several estimation methods. The available data display seasonal variations, with low wind speeds in different seasons and effects of a moderately complex surrounding. The results show that the maximum likelihood method is much more successful than industry standard WAsP method when the diverse winds with high percentile of low wind speed occur.Article Citation - WoS: 4Küçük ve Mikro Ölçekli Enerji Yatırımı için Hibrit Enerji Modeli(Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2019) Yıldız, Mustafa; Bingöl, FerhatTürkiye çatı üstü güneş ve küçük ölçekli rüzgâr türbinleri gibi farklı olasılıklarda yeni düzenlemelere 2017 yılında gitmiştir. Her iki teknoloji için de ayrı çalışmalar yapılmış olmasına rağmen henüz hibrit sistem değerlendirme metodolojisi ve sonuçları ülke çapında yaygın değildir. Bu çalışma, verilen tesis alanın mikro ölçekli rüzgâr ve güneş esaslı toplam enerji kapasitesine göre iki kaynaktan üretilen enerjiyi azami noktaya ulaştırmak için önerilmiş, Hibrit Optimizasyon Aracı (Hybrid Otpimization Tool)-HOT-olarak isimlendirilmiş bir model içerir. Son kullanıcının basit aylık bilgileri girerek yıllık üretim tahmini yapmasına olanak verir. Modelin karşılaştırılması yaygınca kullanılan ve ticari yazılım HOMER ile yapılmıştır. Sonuçta yapılan tahminlerin mikro sistemlerin ekonomik modelini tehlikeye atmayacak belirsizlikte çalışarak fizibilite çalışmalarında ön-analiz için kullanılabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 5Rüzgar Enerji Sistemleri için Hava Yoğunluğunun Hesaplanması(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2018) Bingöl, FerhatRüzgar tarlaları son yıllarda dünyada ve Türkiye’de deniz seviyesindeki alanların yanı sıra yüksek rüzgar hızı kapasitesine sahip dağlık bölgelerde de kurulmaya başlamıştır. Ancak, dikkat edilmesi gereken en önemli nokta bu konumlarda hava yoğunluğunun azaldığı ve bunun da rüzgar türbinlerinden üretim gücüne doğrudan etkilediğidir. Küçük görünen farklar eğer fizibilite aşamasında yanlış hesaplanırsa uzun yıllar üretim göz önüne alındığında önemli farklar yaratabilirler. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de 126 ölçüm yapılmış nokta için temelde iki farklı yöntem kullanılarak yoğunluk hesabı yapılmış ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Genel itibariyle, sonuçlar yıllık ortalamalar dikkate alındığında iki metotta da birbirine yakın çıkmakta ama aylık ortalamalarda %2 seviyelerine ulaşan üretim tahmininde hatalara yol açacak farklılıklar göstermektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6A Simplified Method on Estimation of Forest Roughness by Use of Aerial Lidar Data(Wiley, 2019) Bingöl, FerhatIn the last decade, satellite-based measurements combined with local land cover information have produced datasets with a very detailed land cover description. CORINE Land Cover (CLC) dataset is owned and maintained by the European Environmental Agency (EEA) and published at the agency's website. Another remote sensing tool, developed in the same period, is the terrain LIDAR scanners with very high resolution and porosity information. In the current study, LIDAR scans of mainland Denmark with 0.4 m resolution were used to estimate the aerodynamic roughness of large forests, the borders of which were defined with the help of the CLC dataset. The results are compared with available in situ measurement results from the scientific literature. There was a generally good agreement between calculated and measured displacement height values but less so for aerodynamic roughness values due to the employed spatial averaging process. The results reveal a promising application that can be used for forest parameterization within modeling tools.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Feasibility of Large Scale Wind Turbines for Offshore Gas Platform Installation(AIMS Press, 2018) Bingöl, FerhatAlthough, offshore wind energy development emerged under way at the beginning of the millennium, Europe is planning to bring offshore wind energy capacity to over 11.6 GW until 2020. This is nearly 10 times todays installed offshore capacity and equal to nearly 50% of the new planned investment in the wind energy market. The North Sea and the Baltic Sea are the main investment areas due to the shallower sea depth. In this paper an approach to use old gas / oil platforms as the foundation for a wind turbine is examined. An off shore gas platform close to Istanbul Turkey with over 20 years more lifetime is taken as a real-life case, with the wind resource information extracted from the recent large-scale wind atlas study, Global Wind Atlas version 2. The study aims to combine recent offshore economical models with up-to-date scientific wind energy yield assessment models to have a more realistic look on the feasibility of such an approach. The results show that, with the assumption of no extra support structure and capital loan costs, a project can be feasible with bigger then 8MW wind turbines. These may involve a large initial investment but the return of the investment (ROI) can be as low as 8 years. With bigger turbines, profit can be increased, and ROI can be decreased while the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) displays minor decrease after 10 MW.Article Citation - WoS: 7Inertia and Droop Controller for a Modern Variable Speed Wind Turbine To Provide Frequency Control in a Microgrid(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Hassan, Ali; Altın, Müfit; Bingöl, FerhatThe increasing penetration of modern Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWTs) in microgrids creates the problem of frequency stabilization due to reduced inertia of the power system. To emulate the Inertia Response of the conventional synchronous machines, wind turbines can be provided with an inertia emulation controller. The modeling presented in this paper aims at equipping the modern Type D wind turbine with inertia response and primary frequency control (PFC) capabilities. Two controllers - inertial and droop, are implemented and their frequency control capabilities are compared in an isolated power system which consists of a conventional steam turbine generator and a wind farm. The results suggest that proposed controllers help in better frequency control performance in the microgrid.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 37Mcdm Analysis of Wind Energy in Turkey: Decision Making Based on Environmental Impact(Springer Verlag, 2018) Değirmenci, Sinem; Bingöl, Ferhat; Sofuoğlu, Sait CemilDevelopment of new wind energy projects require complex planning process involving many social, technical, economic, environmental, political concerns, and different agents such as investors, utilities, governmental agencies, or social groups. The aim of this study is to develop a tool combining Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodologies, and its application for Turkey as a case study. A variety of constraints and criteria were identified based on a literature review and regulations gathered from variety of agencies, use of which resulted in determination of infeasible sites. Then, pairwise comparisons were carried out using analytic hierarchy process as the MCDM method to estimate relative importance of the criteria, and to visualize a suitability map with three classes. As the final stage, decision making was carried out based on environmental impact where 45.5% of the Turkish territory was found as infeasible area. Sixty percent of the remaining area are covered by the moderate suitability class, followed by the highly suitable area (20.3%) and low suitable area (19.8%). The output of this study can be used by energy planners to estimate the extent that wind energy can be developed based on public perception, administrative, and environmental aspects
