Renewable energy sources for the shift from fossil fuel have been considered as a solution to generate energy. In order to determine the optimal alternative for a specific region having more than one renewable energy sources prior to investment, Bozcaada Island is considered in this study. Two different renewable sources, wind and solar sources, are evaluated by life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. For wind potential, operated onshore wind farm and proposed offshore wind farm are considered. A land based photovoltaic (PV) power plant are proposed to evaluate solar potential. “Cradle to grave” approach is applied for each case. The results of this study indicated that offshore wind farm is more advantageous than onshore wind farm in terms of environmental impacts apart from acidification potential (AP) whereas onshore wind technology is more beneficial than conventional photovoltaic (PV) system in terms of all selected impact categories.

A comparison of renewable energy systems (onshore wind, offshore wind, conventional pv) for Bozcaada Island Şentürk, Ayşe Eylül; Oğuz, Elif; Department of Civil Engineering (2020) Renewable energy sources have been considered as a sustainable solution for energy production without polluting the environment. Shifting from fossil fuel to renewable sources has been suggested by many scientists to decrease the global warming effects. As several renewable energy sources exist such as solar, wind, hydro-power, etc., it is important to determine the appropriate option for a selected region in terms of maximizing efficiency and power output as well as minimizing life cycle costs (LCC). There...
Coupled aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analyses of upscaled floating offshore wind turbines Juanda Putra, Muhammad; Oğuz, Elif; Sezer Uzol, Nilay (2022-09-26) As one of the widely used renewable energy sources, wind energy is expected to lead the energy market. A recent trend is to develop bigger wind turbines since upscaled wind turbines’ rotor size increases power production and reduces a significant amount of maintenance cost of a wind warm. Especially, due to the dimension of roads used in transportation of the turbine blades and components, there are strict limitations for design of onshore wind turbines. This study aims to investigate aerodynamic and hydrod...
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...
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...
Improving the energy conversion stability of hybrid solar photovoltaic / wind turbine renewable energy systems Aşçıoğlu, Berk; Batunlu, Canraş; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019-8) In the last few years, renewable energy sources such as wind turbines, photovoltaics, hydropower stations etc. have become widespread because of raising energy needs of the world. Since the fossil fuel consumption excessively has increased, lack of energy has caused the renewable energy requirement. Furthermore, renewable energy has an important role because of the economic and environmental worries. In other words, industrial and inhabitant needs by provided the traditional energy is no longer a successful...
