The use of renewable energy with storage systems is particularly important in small and unreliable grids, such as islands. This paper reports sizing of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant with storage system for Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus through technical and economic analyses. PV system was modeled considering fixed tilted, one axis and two-axis tracking systems using hourly data. Energy storage system was included in the model to overcome the temporal mismatch between the electricity demand of the campus and the electricity supplied by the PV system. The reduction in CO2 emissions by deploying these systems was studied. The results showed that although it would not be economically feasible to meet the entire demand of the campus, a PV system of 4.5 MW with 15 MWh of storage size would generate enough electricity to meet the demand for 83% of the time in a year, yielding the cost of 0.25 USD/kWh.

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...
Transformation pathways toward a sustainable energy system in Turkey
Fathurrahman, Fahman.; Soytaş, Uğur; Department of Earth System Science (2019)
The important factors for designing and implementing a sustainable energy system consist of a sufficient, affordable, secure, and environmentally sound energy supply along with the efficient use of energy. Given its high dependency on foreign energy resources, the current energy system in Turkey is far from satisfying the criteria of a sustainable energy system. In addition, relying solely on fossil fuels is no longer a proper alternative mainly due to its impact on climate change and vastly diminishing res...
The Impact of energy storage system on security constrained unit commitment problem in presence of renewables
Çakır, Caner; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In spite of the fact that there is a growing trend for the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to the existing power systems, the intermittency and volatility of these resources should be taken into consideration in the day ahead operational planning for the sake of security and reliability of the electrical energy. Besides, the adverse effects of high penetration of wind energy - the largest global installed RES capacity - to the system operation could be mitigated with the utilization of Energy ...
Quantifying the revenue gain of operating a cascade hydropower plant system as a pumped-storage hydropower system
Ak, Mumtaz; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01)
Pumped-storage hydropower is one of the most viable large-scale energy storage options. When managed optimally, pumped-storage hydropower may also bring monetary benefits due to price variations in the electricity market. Two main concerns are the lack of suitable sites and potential environmental impacts, which can be alleviated by using already existing, closely situated reservoirs. The goal of this study is to develop operating strategies for cascade pumped-storage hydropower systems composed of already ...
Technical and economic assessment of fixed, single and dual-axis tracking PV panels in low latitude countries
Bahrami, Arian; Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Atikol, Ugur (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)
This study aims to contribute towards developing a sustainable roadmap for electrification program via solar energy deployment in 21 low latitude countries (0-15 degrees N) with limited access to the grid. Firstly, the available electrical energy from fixed, single and dual-axis solar tracking PV panels is demonstrated using a case study of nine selected locations in Nigeria. The annual electrical energy for the locations from a fixed 1-kW PV panel tilted at an optimal angle ranges from 1485 to 2024 kWh, wi...
