Iron and Steel Industry has been growing increasingly in Turkey in the last decade. Today its electricity demand is nearly one tenth of the installed generation capability of 40 GW in the country. In this paper, power quality investigations based on the arc furnace installations of the iron and steel plants using field measurements according to the international standard IEC 61000-4-30 are documented. Inter-harmonies and voltage flicker problems occurring both at the common coupling points of those plants and at the are furnace and SVC systems of the plants themselves are determined with the use of GPS receiver synchronization modules attached to the mobile power quality measurement systems. It has been observed that flicker and interharmonic problems are dominant at the point of common couplings where arc furnace installations are supplied. Based on the field measurements obtained with collaborative work of five arc furnace plants, it is possible to say that contemporary SVC systems cause interharmonic amplification problems around the second harmonic and novel methods are required to solve this problem.

Electrical Power Quality of Iron and Steel Industry in Turkey Salor, Ozgul; Gultekin, Burhan; Buhan, Serkan; Boyrazoglu, Burak; Inan, Tolga; Atalik, Tevhid; Acik, Adnan; Terciyanli, Alper; Unsar, Ozgur; Altintas, Erinc; Akkaya, Yener; Ozdemirci, Ercument; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2010-01-01) The iron and steel industry has been growing increasingly in Turkey in the last decade. Today, its electricity demand is nearly one tenth of the installed generation capability of 40 GW in the country. In this paper, power quality (PQ) investigations based on the arc furnace installations of the iron and steel plants using field measurements according to the international standard IEC 61000-4-30 are documented. Interharmonics and voltage flicker problems occurring both at the common-coupling points of those...
Statistical analysis of electricity energy consumption with respect to provinces in Turkey Çakmak, Mehmet; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; İlk Dağ, Özlem; Department of Statistics (2014) In recent years, the economic developments in Turkey, rapid increase in population and industrialization and such factors have led to an increment in the demand for electricity in Turkey. Therefore; the accurate estimation of electricity consumption will be important in determining the country's energy strategy. The purpose of this study is to forecast the future electricity energy consumption by acquiring the most consistent and accurate forecast models of the provinces in Turkey by using the fixed effects...
Innovation Vision of the Turkish Construction Industry: A Comparative Qualitative Content Analysis of Strategic Roadmaps Bilgin, Gizem; Bilgin, Pinar; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-11-27) Construction plays a crucial role in Turkey’s economic development, accounting for nearly 8-9% of GDP.The growing global competitiveness of Turkish contractors also contributes significantly to the balance ofpayments of Turkey. It is widely acknowledged that competitiveness of firms depends on national“innovation systems,” that is shaped by government policy, and an innovation vision is needed at theindustry-level as well as supporting mechanisms such as funding schemes for research and developmentin the pr...
A Study on the price escalation system in public construction contracts in Turkey Ercan, Muhammed; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) The construction industry has a major role in the development of Turkish economy. The construction sector contributes 6-8 % of the gross domestic product of Turkey. At the same time, public investments comprise an important portion in the Turkish construction sector. Medium to large construction projects generally take over a year for completion and cost of materials and labor that are used as resources in construction projects often increase during implementation of construction projects. On the other hand...
Renewable energy planning in Turkey with a focus on hydropower Gök, Emre; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) As a country highly dependent on foreign fossil fuel sources, Turkey experiences many problems due to its increasing energy consumption in parallel with increasing population and rapid economic growth. Foreign fossil fuel dependency adversely affects sustainable development of the country by hindering its economic development. Because of this, renewable energy sources of the country should be evaluated and developed as soon as possible. Prioritization of the development of renewable energy sources to increa...
