Energy production without destroying the environment has been one of the most crucial issues for the people living in today'sworld. In order to analyse whole environmental impacts of energy production process, life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used. In this study, two distinct renewable energy systems are assessed. First, a land-based wind farm which has been operating in Bozcaada Island since 2000 compared with a proposed solar photovoltaic power plant in terms of Energy Pay-Back Time (EPBT) periods and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) to determine the most feasible renewable energy system. Energy production process including recycling phase evaluated "from cradle to grave" using Gabi for both cases. All scenarios are compared in terms of selected impact categories which are global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP) and eutrophication potential (EP) to create awareness that LCA is useful and practical tool which help to determine drawbacks and benefits of different renewable energy systems in terms of their long-term view of environmental impacts in a selected region.

Sustainability assessment of a hydropower project: a case study of Kayraktepe dam and Hepp
Öztürk, Ayça; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Nowadays, the world faces with lack of electricity access, water scarcity, climate change and global warming. The hydropower industry has a crucial role to deal with these problems as well as to develop projects for sustainable development. However, if social, environmental and economical impacts of a hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) project are not considered, it might lead to irreparable destructions. Nowadays, in Turkey, due to social and environmental problems resulting from hydropower projects, the opp...
Sustainable impact evaluation of energy retrofits for school buildings in different climate regions
Uluçay, Jülide Arzu; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2019)
Due to increasing importance of the concepts of energy efficiency and sustainability, retrofits for a large portion of existing buildings have become an immediate necessity. In this respect, different retrofit strategies are employed for increasing the efficiency of existing building envelopes, energy sources, electrical and mechanical systems. Among the existing building types for efficiency retrofit are the school buildings, which differ from the rest due to their special function - education. The activit...
Seismic performance evaluation of roller compacted concrete gravity dams by pseudo dynamic testing
Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
The energy demands throughout the world have reached a level that could create irreversible impacts on the environment unless an overall energy policy to reduce the energy production relying on fossil fuels is implemented. The apparent effects of global warming enforced countries to take precautions and to set limits on the fossil fuel consumption. Thus, the renewable energy sources like hydropower, solar energy, biomass, etc. have, nowadays, been encouraged to generate electricity. Certainly, dams are exce...
Optimum matrix acidizing: How much does it impact the productivity
Al Rbeawi, S.; Kadhim, F. S.; Farman, G. M. (2018-08-09)
Formation damage is one of the big challenges for oil and gas oilfields development. Several types of formation damage most likely exist during the entire life of producing wells. Formation damage can occur during the drilling or coring operations, well completion, work-over and production. The most important problems that affect formation during drilling operations are mud filtrate and fines invasion. There are different damage mechanisms affect reservoirs for instance pore blocking by solids, clay swellin...
Feasibility study of multiple hydropower project: case study of Baltacı stream, Trabzon, Turkey
Aydın, Boran Ekin; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Altınbilek, Doğan H.; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
High greenhouse gas emissions increased the importance of renewable energy resources. Hydropower is among the most widely used type of renewable energy. Oppositions to big hydropower projects with reservoirs increased the use of small hydropower plants. Development of a small hydropower project is a challenging engineering task. Different software’s are developed and used to make initial estimations of energy generation and initial costs of the project. RETScreen Clean Energy Analysis Software which can be ...
