Renewable energy is needed to preserve a sustainable environment. One particular form of renewable energy (solar energy) is one of the most important and cost-effective solutions to the energy crisis. In this study, efficient solar energy management using ZigBee technology shall he discussed. The system informs the user when solar panels produce excess power before supplying it to the surrounding users, thus making the supplier a prosumer instead of a consumer. GSM which is used to monitor energy usage overcomes some security issues such as tempering. In the case of any problem, the user will receive a message on a GSM module. The smart grid is also vulnerable to different security threats, which are also discussed in this paper. Using Proteus software for simulation reveals that such a system is practical, and with further research and experimental setups it could be improved.

Assessment of renewable energy based micro-grids for small communities Sadati, S.M. Sajed; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-7) Deploying renewable energy systems to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize renewable energy systems with conventional power systems and include energy storage systems. In this study, the feasibility analysis of two cases for electricity generation systems as (i) photovoltaic (PV)-battery-pumped hydro system (PHS) and (ii) PV-wind-battery are presented as a Renewable Energy Micro-Gr...
Analytical Modelling, Simulation and Comparative Study of Multi-Junction Solar Cells Efficiency Hadjdida, Abdelkader; Bourahla, Mohamed; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Bekhti, Mohamed (2018-12-01) Currently, solar energy is promising the primary source of renewable energy that has a great potential to generate power for an extremely low operating cost when compared to already existing power generation technologies. Increasing the efficiency of solar cells is a major goal and the prominent factor in photovoltaic system research. Current triple junction solar cells reach 30% and the next generation will bring 35% in 5 years to peak at 40%. These cells are used in space environment and in terrestrial sy...
Preliminary Study on Site Selection For Floating Hybrid Wind And Solar Energy Systems In Turkey Yerlikaya, Nevzat Can; Çakan, Çağatay; Başara, Ilgın; Caceoğlu, Eray; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2021-09-08) It is well-known that even though fossil fuels are the main energy resource in Turkey, use of sustainable energy resources such as wind and solar energy has been increasing in the past years and expected to continue on this trend in the next years to come. The suitable land for land-based wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems could also be convenient for various other purposes, such as agriculture. This study aims to investigate the suitable sites for a combined floating wind and solar systems in the ...
Sizing of a Photovoltaic-Wind-Oil Shale Hybrid System: Case Analysis in Jordan AL-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Fahrioglu, Murat (2018-02-01) The integration between renewable energy systems (RESs) and oil shale system ensures reliable power generation source with a competitive energy generation cost when compared to costs of conventional systems. In addition, this integration will prevent considerable amount of CO2 emissions. This study aims to determine the size of a grid-tied hybrid system in Al-Tafilah, Jordan that maximizes the yearly overall fraction of demand met with levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) equal to or lower than the local co...
Sizing of Photovoltaic-Wind-Battery Hybrid System for a Mediterranean Island Community Based on Estimated and Measured Meteorological Data Sadati, S. M. Sajed; Jahani, Elham; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (2018-02-01) Deploying renewable energy systems (RES) to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and the variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize RES with conventional power systems and include energy storage units. In this study, the feasibility analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)wind-battery hybrid system is presented as a microgrid for a university campus-scale community on a Mediterranean island. Models for PV and wind turbine syste...
