Feasibility of pumped storage hydropower with existing pricing policy in Turkey
Barbaros, Efe; Aydın, İsmail; Celebioglu, Kutay (Elsevier BV, 2021-02-01)
Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH) has been used worldwide as a means of energy storage for many years. Unlike many countries with pumped storage, Turkey has not needed a PSH facility until very recently since the existing hydropower plants with large reservoirs provided the required flexibility to meet daily demand variations. The share of renewable energy in Turkey's electrical grid has significantly increased in the last decade. Moreover, the first nuclear power plant of the country is planned to star...
Effects of different laser modified surface morphologies and post-texturing cleanings on c-Si solar cell performance
Radfar, Behrad; ES, FIRAT; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
Performance of crystalline Silicon solar cells depends on numerous factors. One key factor is a surface structure which can restrict electrical and optical properties due to recombination of generated carriers and reflection of incident light. Surface texturing reduces reflection from a flat surface which increases absorption of light. Anisotropic alkaline etchants are commonly used for texturing mono-crystalline Silicon wafers which produce pyramid structures on the surface. Because of randomly oriented cr...
The analysis on sun tracking and cooling systems for photovoltaic panels
RÜSTEMLİ, SABİR; Dincer, Furkan; ÜNAL, EMİN; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; Sabah, Cumali (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01)
This paper presents a review study on the effects of sun tracking and cooling systems. So far, many studies (and case studies too) have been analyzed and evaluated in the literature. Existing studies show that sun tracking system is significantly affecting energy generation capacity of photovoltaic panel. Other effecting parameter is the cooling system which has small effect on PV panel power generation but this totally depends on the location of installation system.

Integrated nutrient removal and biogas production by Chlorella vulgaris cultures
Calicioglu, Ozgul; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (AIP Publishing, 2015-05-01)
Changes in global nutrient cycles as a result of industrialization affect both ecosystems and human well-being. A clear example of human manipulation on ecosystems is eutrophication; a phenomenon caused in receiving water bodies by discharge of urban sewage rich in nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Microalgal nutrient removal is a viable alternative for biological wastewater treatment, considering high nutrient uptake capabilities of microalgae. These systems are also advantageous in terms ...
Biogas production from pistachio (Pistaciavera L.) de-hulling waste
Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
Pistachio processing wastes create significant waste management problems unless properly managed. However, there are not well-established methods to manage the waste generated during the processing of pistachios. Anaerobic digestion can be an attractive option not only for the management of pistachio processing wastes but also producing renewable energy in the form of biogas. This study investigated anaerobic digestibility and biogas production potential of pistachio de-hulling waste from wet de-hulling pro...
