Due to ecological problems that we are facing, renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, are emerging trends. However, unless renewable energy is supported by storage systems, the reliability of supply may decrease because of its intermittent and uncertain nature. Besides, since the generation is not controllable without the storage, profitability in the energy market may be risky. In this context, pumped hydroelectric storage systems are the most common and mature way of store electrical energy in grid level. In this thesis, Gökçekaya pumped storage power plant, whose feasibility study has been completed by Japan International Cooperation Agency-JICA, has been modeled. The model is discretized to take water level changes into account and piecewise linearized to consider efficiency alterations. Wind generation and market price data are obtained from Energy Exchange Istanbul-EXIST Transparency Platform. Optimization problem is constructed using mixed integer linear programming method with AMPL Language. Problems are solved in NEOS Servers by using CPLEX as a solver. For the short term, a combination of objective functions, fluctuated generation minimization and profit maximization, have been studied. A small pump unit has been included to the system in order to observe its effects. Operation of each problem has been demonstrated by plotting its results for three consecutive days. Then, one month results are analyzed for January and August. It is found that the small pump unit enhances the operation of the system for all problems. Besides, it is concluded that due to fluctuated electricity market prices, working in January becomes more profitable.

Feasibility study of multiple hydropower project: case study of Baltacı stream, Trabzon, Turkey Aydın, Boran Ekin; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Altınbilek, Doğan H.; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) High greenhouse gas emissions increased the importance of renewable energy resources. Hydropower is among the most widely used type of renewable energy. Oppositions to big hydropower projects with reservoirs increased the use of small hydropower plants. Development of a small hydropower project is a challenging engineering task. Different software’s are developed and used to make initial estimations of energy generation and initial costs of the project. RETScreen Clean Energy Analysis Software which can be ...
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...
Capacity determination of pumped storage projects using market electricity prices Çetinkaya, Semih; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Renewable and clean energy is gaining more importance after the nuclear disasters with increasing awareness of depletion of fossil fuels, concerns about the global warming and increasing energy demand. However, intermittency of renewable resources is the biggest challenge in the restructuring world energy market. Energy has to be stored against sudden changes in the production and consumption. In order to keep the continuity of the energy supply, pumped storage can be a remedy. Therefore, pumped storage pro...
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...
Sustainability assessment of a hydropower project: a case study of Kayraktepe dam and Hepp Öztürk, Ayça; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) Nowadays, the world faces with lack of electricity access, water scarcity, climate change and global warming. The hydropower industry has a crucial role to deal with these problems as well as to develop projects for sustainable development. However, if social, environmental and economical impacts of a hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) project are not considered, it might lead to irreparable destructions. Nowadays, in Turkey, due to social and environmental problems resulting from hydropower projects, the opp...
