From the early 20th Century, the intense population growth around the world resulted in large increases in the power plants, both by means of number and size. However, this increase brought many concerns, including environmental and human health related ones. This has resulted in renewable energy sources to rise over conventional power plants. Among renewable energy sources, thanks to their simplicity and convenience, wind turbines became of considerable importance. As a result, a large number of wind farms have been installed and integrated to the grid worldwide. As the wind oriented generation levels increased, several new concerns arose. Among them, the threat on system stability and security introduced by the wind farms present in the system which may play a role in the event of a fault is regarded as the main concern. In order to investigate this problem and related concerns, a simplified yet realistic model of Turkish Generation/Transmission system is implemented on Digsilent Powerfactory computer software. With the present wind farms in operation added to the system model, transient analyses for three phase to ground faults are carried out. The analyses are performed individually for different wind farm installed capacity values and breaker operation times with the results recorded after each analysis. The installed capacity values for each wind farm are chosen to be equal to a given vi percentage of the short circuit power at the bus that the wind farm is connected to. Regarding circuit breaker operation times; theoretical and practical minimum, average, above-average and maximum allowed durations are considered and their effect on the results are analyzed. The simulation results are examined and evaluated in a comparative manner, thus presenting the scales of dynamic effects of wind farms on the transmission system with respect to the wind oriented generation and wind farm installed capacity levels.

Identification of waste management strategies and waste generation factors for thermal power plant sector wastes in Turkey Demir, Cansu; Yetiş, Ülkü; Ünlü, Kahraman (SAGE Publications, 2019-03-01) Thermal power plants are of great environmental importance in terms of the huge amounts of wastes that they produce. Although there are process-wise differences among these energy production systems, they all depend on the logic of burning out a fuel and obtaining thermal energy to rotate the turbines. Depending on the process modification and the type of fuel burned, the wastes produced in each step of the overall process may change. In this study, the most expected process and non-process wastes stemming ...
Parameterization of built environment for wind resource assessment Sakçak, Şafak; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018) Use of wind power for energy generation in urban areas is gaining importance considering the energy consumption and environmental impact behaviors of built environments. Therefore, assessment of urban wind resource is crucial. The study of air flows in cities is also related to other concerns as natural ventilation, air contamination and pedestrian comfort. Two of primary research topics proposed in feasibility studies for urban wind energy are improvement on the understanding of urban wind flows with devel...
Short term electricity price forecasting in Turkish electricity market Özgüner, Erdem; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, O. Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) With the aim for higher economical efficiency, considerable and radical changes have occurred in the worldwide electricity sector since the beginning of 1980s. By that time, the electricity sector has been controlled by the state-owned vertically integrated monopolies which manage and control all generation, transmission, distribution and retail activities and the consumers buy electricity with a price set by these monopolies in that system. After the liberalization and restructuring of the electricity powe...
Rethinking wind energy in its social context: conflicting perspectives and planning problems – the Karaburun experience Özçam, Zeynep; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016) As a result of global concerns about energy related environmental problems, the use of renewable energy resources has gained great importance. The renewables are widely recognized as an effective tool for limiting energy related emissions and a fundamental component of sustainable development. Among these, especially wind energy has considerable involvement. Due to this, major national policies intend to support wind energy and wind energy installations have also started to grow with an expanding rate. Like...
Determination of wind power potential and optimal wind power plant locations in Turkey Çetinay, Hale; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Due to increased environmental concerns, utilization of the renewable energy, especially the wind power, gains importance. Like developed countries which have set their renewable energy targets for the long term integration, Turkish government has also set the goal as 20 GW of total wind power installed capacity in 2023. In this thesis, the wind power potential in Turkey is analyzed and different cases are studied to determine optimal locations for wind power plant establishment. In order to determine the w...
