The objectives of this study are to find the best way to calibrate data that are collected from the energy maps of Turkey and take advantage of alternative electric energy source in construction projects. To achieve these goals, renewable energy maps of Turkey were collected. Four types of energy maps such as solar, wind, geothermal, and wave energy were utilized. Cost effectiveness was proposed for the construction projects that have a total cost of more than a million dollars. Thus it is considered that alternative energy maps in the study could be utilized for construction projects instead of spending too much money using the traditional methods for on-site energy generation. This study is just a research that aims to figure out renewable energy availabilities on construction site(s) and it is also proposing that construction projects need much more research about green energy; thereby the real engineering methods will find their meanings.

Renewable energy promotion strategies of individual states and regional frameworks: a comparative approach
Şekerci, Almira Sinemis; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2017)
This thesis seeks to examine the importance of using renewable energy by using different promotion strategies, methods, technologies and policies among the different countries and regional frameworks in order to achieve a sustainable future. The main argument of the thesis is that contrary to the views of some scholars, who argue that it is the renewable energy potential of countries that is the key for the development of the renewable energy sectors, this thesis argues that it is mainly the renewable energ...
Theoretical and experimental investigation of a humidification-dehumidification desalination system using solar energy
Solmuş, İsmail; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, experimental and numerical studies have been carried out to investigate the performance of a solar desalination system working on humidification-dehumidification principle under the climatological conditions of Ankara, Turkey. The desalination unit was configured mainly by a double-pass flat plate solar air heater with two glass covers, pad humidifier, storage tank and dehumidifying exchanger. The system used in this work is based on the idea of closed water and open air cycles. A computer s...
Renewable energy in regional planning and development : an evaluation of development agencies in Turkey
Ersanlı, Devrim; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2013)
This thesis studies the renewable energy concept in regional planning. A comprehensive study is made about the renewable energy in Turkey, in a regional planning aspect. A profound analysis about the renewable energy related activities of the regional development agencies is made. The examples of successful regional and national planning policies in the world, for the increase in renewable energy utilization and sustainable energy generation are studied. The Turkish legal legislation about the renewable ene...
Comparisons and critical assessment of global and diffuse solar irradiation estimation methodologies
Karaveli, Abdullah Bugrahan; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
Defining better methodologies of accurate predictions of the amount of monthly mean daily global and diffuse solar irradiation exposed is of utmost importance in order to determine the potential for utilizing the solar energy. This study compares and discusses the main methodologies, databases, and software that are used in estimating the solar irradiation to be used for the short- and long-term performances and feasibilities of solar energy systems, especially photovoltaic power plants in Turkey, and addre...
Solar generated steam injection in heavy oil reservoirs: A case study
Afsar, Cansu; Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2016-06-01)
Combination of solar generated steam technology and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques have attracted a great deal of attention due to its positive impact on economics and on the environment. Solar steam project has already proven itself as it can reduce both gas consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 80%. However, operational issues as well as geographical factors (i.e. terrain suitability, drill sites and future field development plans) may affect solar EOR operations. In this study, a heavy oil field...
