In this paper, we investigate the relationship between carbon emissions, income, energy and total employment in selected OPEC countries for the period of 1971-2002. We mainly focus on the link between energy use and income. Employing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, we find that there is a cointegrating relationship between the variables in Saudi Arabia only. The long run forcing variables for income are determined to be employment and energy for Saudi Arabia. In Indonesia, Algeria, Nigeria, and Venezuela, there is no cointegration between income and energy. Secondly we question the long run Granger causality between carbon emissions, energy use, and income. Our results suggest that none of the countries need to sacrifice economic growth to decrease their emission levels. Indonesia and Nigeria may contribute to emissions reduction via energy conservation without negative long run effects on economic growth.

Numerical analysis of an organic Rankine cycle under steady and variable heat input Bamgbopa, Musbaudeen O.; Uzgoren, Eray (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-01) This paper develops a strategy to maintain steady operation of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) by adjusting evaporator flow rates in relation to the available thermal energy. ORC unit under investigation uses R245fa as the working fluid, for which a regression based approach was implemented to evaluate its state properties. Steady and transient models for unit's subcomponents (pump, evaporator, expander and condenser) were developed. Heat source is considered as solar heated water between 80 degrees C and 95...
Forecasting production of fossil fuel sources in Turkey using a comparative regression and ARIMA model Ediger, Volkan S.; Akar, Sertac; Ugurlu, Berkin (Elsevier BV, 2006-12-01) This study aims at forecasting the most possible curve for domestic fossil fuel production of Turkey to help policy makers to develop policy implications for rapidly growing dependency problem on imported fossil fuels. The fossil fuel dependency problem is international in scope and context and Turkey is a typical example for emerging energy markets of the developing world. We developed a decision support system for forecasting fossil fuel production by applying a regression, ARIMA and SARIMA method to the ...
The merit order effect of wind and river type hydroelectricity generation on Turkish electricity prices Acar, Berkan; Selcuk, Orhun; Dastan, Seyit Ali (Elsevier BV, 2019-09-01) The environmental concerns and dependency on gas imports push Turkish policy makers to find ways of increasing the share of renewable sources in electricity generation. Providing incentives for renewable energy in the form of feed-in-tariffs is one of the measures to achieve this goal. Basing on the data of Turkish electricity market operator, we quantified the magnitude of the price effects of wind and river type hydro generations on hourly average of day-ahead prices. We find that wind and river type hydr...
Variable renewable energy technologies in the Turkish electricity market: Quantile regression analysis of the merit-order effect Sirin, Selahattin Murat; Yılmaz, Berna Nisa (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) The share of variable renewable energy sources in power supply has increased significantly in many countries; however, this increase has also created problems in electricity markets. While the average day-ahead market price has declined in several markets (the merit-order effect), the remuneration mechanisms in some countries have to be revised due to the surge in financial costs. Yet, further research is needed to understand the implications of the merit-order effect for remuneration mechanisms thoroughly....
Experimental investigation of a natural zeolite-water adsorption cooling unit Solmus, Ismail; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN; Yamali, Cemil; Baker, Derek Keıth (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01) In this study, a thermally driven adsorption cooling unit using natural zeolite-water as the adsorbent-refrigerant pair has been built and its performance investigated experimentally at various evaporator temperatures. The primary components of the cooling unit are a shell and tube adsorbent bed, an evaporator, a condenser, heating and cooling baths, measurement instruments and supplementary system components. The adsorbent bed is considered to enhance the bed's heat and mass transfer characteristics; the b...
