Energy is the principal requirement of humankind and the major challenging subject is to utilize clean energy sources. Majority of the worldwide energy demand is met by fossil fuels which are finite and will eventually terminate. To provide a sustainable future and handle the growing effects of climate change, clean energy sources are becoming crucial worldwide. Solar energy draws attention due to being one of the most low-priced, infinite and environmentally friendly renewable energy resources. The purpose of this study is to propose and implement a Geographic Information System (GIS) based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodology with a new hybrid approach integrating Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)-Fuzzy Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) with linguistic quantifier “all” to select priority sites for the solar PV power plant. Environmental and regulatory objectives together with economic and technical criteria related with solar energy systems are determined through a comprehensive examination of literature, interviews and Turkish legislation. Membership degrees for each grid based on the defined objectives and criteria are calculated according to fuzzy membership functions. Then by the help of AHP, criteria weights are assigned to these membership degrees and aggregated using Fuzzy OWA “all” linguistic quantifier into overall potentials which are used to select priority sites. Finally, to determine the superior areas in terms of efficiency and production potential within the priority sites, solar radiation distribution along the potential sites are prepared as a resultant map of this study. Within the concept of this thesis, the proposed methodology is applied to the study area located within Beypazarı district of Ankara.

Fluid-CO2 injection impact in a geothermal reservoir: Evaluation with 3-D reactive transport modeling AKIN, TAYLAN; Baser, Ali; Saracoglu, Onder; Akın, Serhat (2022-01-01) Geothermal energy is commonly recognized as an environmentally friendly source of energy. However, geothermal fluids have unusually high CO2 content, particularly, in carbonated geothermal reservoirs. An efficient method to mitigate the CO2 emissions of geothermal power plants is to re-inject the captured CO2 with the effluent fluid to mineralize mainly into calcite under reservoir conditions (e.g., reservoir temperatures ranging from 200 to 220 degrees C). One of the major concerns about the re-injection o...
Analytical Modelling, Simulation and Comparative Study of Multi-Junction Solar Cells Efficiency Hadjdida, Abdelkader; Bourahla, Mohamed; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Bekhti, Mohamed (2018-12-01) Currently, solar energy is promising the primary source of renewable energy that has a great potential to generate power for an extremely low operating cost when compared to already existing power generation technologies. Increasing the efficiency of solar cells is a major goal and the prominent factor in photovoltaic system research. Current triple junction solar cells reach 30% and the next generation will bring 35% in 5 years to peak at 40%. These cells are used in space environment and in terrestrial sy...
Modeling and design of reactor for hydrogen production using non-stoichiometric oxides Yılmaz, Arda; Kıncal, Serkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2017) Nowadays countries investigate to improve alternative energy technologies such as solar power, biomass, wind energy, hydrogen etc. Hydrogen gas is very useful energy carrier and fuel cells produce electricity through hydrogen gas. Hydrogen production technologies are also investigated by many researches due to its high cost production. Thermochemical production way is one of the hydrogen production methods. Solar energy is also clean, renewable and alternative energy source. It is used for heating reaction ...
Preliminary Study on Site Selection For Floating Hybrid Wind And Solar Energy Systems In Turkey Yerlikaya, Nevzat Can; Çakan, Çağatay; Başara, Ilgın; Caceoğlu, Eray; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2021-09-08) It is well-known that even though fossil fuels are the main energy resource in Turkey, use of sustainable energy resources such as wind and solar energy has been increasing in the past years and expected to continue on this trend in the next years to come. The suitable land for land-based wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems could also be convenient for various other purposes, such as agriculture. This study aims to investigate the suitable sites for a combined floating wind and solar systems in the ...
Energy performance of smart buildings: simulating the impact of active systems and passive strategies Tetik, Buğra; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2014) Energy efficiency is one of the most important attempts in the world because of various environmental, economical and developmental aspects of energy. In this context, energy performance of buildings has been a critical issue since buildings constitute approximately half of total energy consumption. The concept of smart building which has been attractive recently, contributes to the issue with smart technologies; while some passive design techniques which have been used throughout the history are still appl...
