Electricity has become one of the main pillars of a well-functioning society and hydroelectric power plants (HEPPs) are one of the main providers of energy in Turkey that are also renewable. To exploit the energy production capacity of existing HEPPs in Turkey and efficient usage of water, operational optimization could help immensely. A non-linear constrained optimization algorithm with an extension, namely a heuristic that provides starting points, has been implemented to maximize the energy production of a cascade HEPP system based on monthly inflow data.

Maximizing energy generation of a cascade hydropower system / Karaeren, Vehbi; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Electricity has become one of the main pillars of a well-functioning society and hydroelectric power plants (HEPPs) are one of the main providers of energy in Turkey that are also renewable. To exploit the energy production capacity of existing HEPPs in Turkey and efficient usage of water, operational optimization could help immensely. A non-linear constrained optimization algorithm with an extension, namely a heuristic that provides starting points, has been implemented to maximize the energy production of...
Hydraulic characteristics of modified tyrolean type intakes Yılmaz, Kuta; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Today, besides the dams, construction of runoff-river type hydroelectric power plants are also important for producing the required electricity. Among the runoff-river hydroelectric power plants, Tyrolean type intakes are very popular as they do not need reservoirs. These intakes are mostly constructed on rivers which carry sediment and have large slopes. The inclination angle of the rack, θ, rack length, L, and the rack spacing, e, are the most important parameters that determine the amount of sediment tha...
OPTIMUM BIDDING STRATEGY FOR HYDRO, WIND AND SOLAR POWER PLANTS IN DAY AHEAD ELECTRICITY MARKET Özcan, Mehmet; Ozan, Keysan; Benhür, Satır; Department of Earth System Science (2021-9-08) The main challenge related to the trade of electricity from renewable energy sources is their intermittency due to stochastic nature of their generation output. This leads to the imbalance cost in day ahead markets (DAM) and raise the concerns for collaboration. There are 2 possible strategies for wind power plants (WPPs) and solar power plants (SPPs) to maximize their income in day ahead markets (DAM) in the presence of imbalance cost: Joint Bidding (JB) via collaboration by participating to balancing grou...
A comparative study on energy income estimation: A case study in Turkey AK, MÜMTAZ; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2014-10-01) Hydropower is the main domestic energy resource of Turkey. The total gross and the economically feasible hydropower potentials of Turkey are estimated as 433 TWh/yr and 127 TWh/yr, respectively, by the General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works (DSI) of the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs.(1) Approximately 35% of the economically feasible hydropower potential is currently being utilized. The government accelerated the development of the unused potential by enabling the private sector to build and o...
Potential of geothermal energy production from depleted gas fields: A case study of Dodan Field, Turkey Aydın, Hakkı; Merey, Şükrü (Elsevier BV, 2021-2) The use of oil and gas wells for geothermal energy utilization is one of the recent applications to increase the contribution of renewable energy among the other energy resources of the countries. Turkey is one of the countries that has depleted oil and gas fields. In this study, we investigate the potential of geothermal energy production from a depleted carbon dioxide gas field in Turkey: The Dodan Gas field. A wide range of data is reviewed and used to assess the actual energy potential of the field by c...
