Energy requirement of Turkey increases day by day and hydropower is currently the main renewable energy source of the country. Thus, planning the development of the unused hydropower potential of Turkey is critical. Available water resources have to be developed and managed in a wise manner. Reservoir operation rule curves are fundamental guidelines for long term reservoir operation. Rule curve which results in the maximum energy generation has to be developed for each hydropower plant (HEPP). The goal of this study is to develop the rule curve for Altıparmak Dam and HEPP. An optimization problem is formulated and coupled with Sequential Streamflow Routing method to determine optimum end of the month operating levels of the reservoir. Monthly operating levels form the rule curve of Altıparmak Dam and HEPP. Total energy generation obtained with the rule curve generated as a result of the optimization study is compared with results obtained from the feasibility studies of Altıparmak Dam and HEPP and it is observed that approximately 5% increase is achieved.

Alternative feasibility studies for Altıparmak Dam and HEPP
Ak, Mümtaz; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Hydropower is the most important domestic energy source of Turkey. Thus, wise planning and development of the unused hydropower potential of the country is vital. There are many hydroelectric power plants under planning stage in our country. Altıparmak HEPP is one of them. General Directorate of Electrical Power Resources Survey and Development Administration (EİE) and ANC Enerji conducted two separate feasibility studies for Altıparmak HEPP in 2001 and 2009, respectively. Traditionally, the energy income c...
Using Monte Carlo simulation and multi-agent systems to estimate financial feasibility of hepp projects tendered on a bot basis: a case study from Turkey
Akçay, Emre Caner; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
As a fast growing country, Turkey’s energy demand has been increasing every year and new investments are needed in the renewable energy sector. Turkish government uses the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model to realize urgent investments in the hydroelectric energy sector. Given the government’s purchase guarantee of the generated electricity, hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) projects can be feasible options for investors. However, during the feasibility studies, risk factors stemming from the macro environm...
Feasibility of a supplementary water storage for birkapili hydroelectric power plant
Bozkurt, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Bakır, Nadi; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Climate change concerns, high oil prices and increasing government support are some of the driving reasons of increasing renewable energy legislation, incentives, and commercialization. Hydroelectricity is the most widely used form of renewable energy and refers to electricity generated by hydropower. In this study, a storage facility is proposed to store some additional water and increase the profitability of the existing Birkapılı Hydroelectric Power Plant. The storage facility is composed of a gravity da...
Optimisation of the Tigris river hydropower system operations
Yalçın, Emrah; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Growing external energy dependence and rising oil prices are encouraging Turkey to turn to renewable energy, especially hydropower. The amended legislation on the transference of the operational rights of existing, under-construction and planned hydropower plants to the private sector and the allocation of water right licenses to develop new projects for electricity production has led to a drastic decrease of the public share in production. Consequently, conflicts related to the operation of reservoirs have...
Feasibility study of a hydropower project: case study of Niksar HEPP, Turkey
Mutlu, Reyhan; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Altınbilek, Doğan H.; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Hydropower helps countries meet their energy needs in an economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable way while saving money and increasing energy security and self-reliance. Being one of the fastest developing countries, electricity demand of Turkey has been increasing and is expected to increase in the future. Untapped hydropower potential is among the prospective alternative resources to supply this demand. Developing a hydropower project requires a great deal of expertise in multiple discipli...
