Because of the governmental incentives, the distributed photovoltaic systems are populating rapidly in Turkish Electric System. This work aims to evaluate the effects of those plants to the electrical system in terms of voltage quality by focusing on the specific example of the solar plant being built under the National Solar Power Plant Development Project (Milli Gunes Enerjisi Santrali Gelistirilmesi Projesi, MILGES). In order to be able to evaluate the effects of the PV system under the most challenging situations in terms of power quality, it is assumed that the solar plant is connected to a substation that also supplies an iron and steel plant with an electric arc furnace (EAF). The EAF system is modeled based on the collected real field data, while PV system parameters are obtained from the project documents.

Evaluation of photovoltaic systems for voltage quality
Şengül, Deniz; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Because of the governmental incentives and developing photovoltaic technology, the distributed photovoltaic systems are populating rapidly in power systems. This rapid population brings with concerns about voltage quality of the power systems. This thesis aims to evaluate the effects of those plants to the voltage quality of power systems in terms of voltage regulation and flicker. The thesis develops a statistical analysis method by developing metrics for a photovoltaic power plant located in Ankara, using...
Predicting actual load demand in distribution systems with high PV penetration
Yıldız, Ufuk; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Because of the increasing environmental concerns, governmental incentives and developing photovoltaic (PV) technology, PV systems have become increasingly popular in recent years. Despite the environmental and economic benefits of PV systems, installation of high number of PV systems brings new challenges in power system operation and management. Due to high number of PV systems at low voltage distribution systems and the computational load of communication and data analysis, the amount of power generated b...
Optimization of electricity markets in the price based and security constrained unit commitment problems frameworks
Şahin, Cem; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Operation of the electricity markets is subject to a number of strict and specific constraints such as continuous load-generation balance, security of supply, and generation technology related limitations. Contributions have been made to two important problems of the Electricity Markets, in the context of this study. In this study, Price Based Unit Commitment problem in the literature, which is a tool for the GENCO for operations planning, is extended considering the interdependencies between the Natural Ga...
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...
Improving the energy conversion stability of hybrid solar photovoltaic / wind turbine renewable energy systems
Aşçıoğlu, Berk; Batunlu, Canraş; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019-8)
In the last few years, renewable energy sources such as wind turbines, photovoltaics, hydropower stations etc. have become widespread because of raising energy needs of the world. Since the fossil fuel consumption excessively has increased, lack of energy has caused the renewable energy requirement. Furthermore, renewable energy has an important role because of the economic and environmental worries. In other words, industrial and inhabitant needs by provided the traditional energy is no longer a successful...
