The main aim of the proposed paper is a study of the DC/DC buck-boost converter for interfacing with Renewable Energy systems, while overcoming the problem of voltage/current ripples. This goal can be achieved by the reduction or the elimination of low order harmonics from the output voltage spectrum. To fulfill this requirement; the heuristic evolutionary algorithm of particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used, where the Selective Harmonics Elimination (SHE) method is applied based on the minimization of an objective function. This objective function is presenting the switching angles used for the DC-DC converter which lead to the elimination of output voltage ripple and keeping its average equal to the desired value. Simulation applications are used to study the capabilities of the optimization method and the objective function is used to achieve the main goal of the present work, which is minimization of voltage/current ripples.

Electricity market modeling using stochastic and robust optimization
Yıldırım, Miray Hanım; Wilhelm Weber, Gerhard; Türker Bayrak, Özlem; Department of Scientific Computing (2015)
Sustainable development relying on sustainable and renewable energy systems is becoming one of the major policies of many countries. This forces the policy makers to establish many reforms and revolutions, which evolve electricity markets into a more competitive form. The competitive environment results in surging electricity demand and supply that brings in a critical challenge: uncertainty. In this thesis, the uncertainties with respect to prices and demand in the market are explored by using stochastic p...
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...

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...
Optical design of TCO-free interconnecting layer for all-perovskite tandem solar cells
Koc, Mehmet; Ameri, Mohsen; Yerci, Selçuk (2021-07-12)
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials are excellent candidates as light absorbers in tandem solar cells with advantages of tunable bandgaps, high absorption coefficients, and facile and low-cost fabrication processes. As the key component of a tandem structure, the interconnecting layer (ICL) requires optical transparency, efficient carrier recombination, and facile up-scalability. To demonstrate the feasibility of an efficient TCO-free ICL in all-perovskite tandem solar cell devices, we have perfor...
Sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems index for Southeast European cities
Kılkış, Şiir (2016-09-01)
Benchmarking the performance of cities across aspects that relate to the sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems requires an integrated approach. This paper benchmarks a sample of 12 Southeast European cities based on a composite indicator that consists of 7 dimensions and 35 main indicators. The composite indicator is namely the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) City Sustainability Index. The first three dimensions are energy consumption and ...
