In this study, applicability of offshore wind energy conversion systems in the Southern Marmara Region has been investigated. For this purpose, four different regions were selected and wind properties of the regions were assessed. Selected regions have been analyzed by taking into account the wind data measured as mean daily time series. The wind data used in this study has been taken from Mete- orological Data Archive and Management System of Turkish State Meteorological Service (TUMAS- TSMS). As a first step for the deployment of offshore wind farms in Turkey, the wind energy potential along the southern Marmara shoreline has been assessed. Combined with the regions wave climate prop- erties and bathymmetrical features, suitable locations for offshore wind energy farms are recommended. The outcome indicates that the regions surrounding Kapidag Peninsula can be used to deploy offshore wind turbine systems. More site-specific data and research is needed in order to augment this study.

Offshore wind farm site selection for Aegean and Mediterranean Sea, Turkey
Yıldız, Hatice Kübra; Oğuz, Elif; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-8-26)
This thesis was focused on investigating potential sites in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea for offshore wind turbines considering a number of criteria such as water depth, wind speed, grid connectivity, etc. Prior to that, all major floating offshore wind turbine installations in Europe and across the World were reviewed. The current status of the offshore wind industry in terms of technology and supporting mechanisms were summarized. Following this, potential sites were mapped using collected data from a...
Evaluation of a satellite-based global flood monitoring system
Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Tian, Yudong; Hong, Yang; Pierce, Harold F. (2010-01-01)
This study provides an initial evaluation of a global flood monitoring system (GFMS) using satellite-based precipitation and readily available geospatial datasets. The GFMS developed by our group uses a relatively simple hydrologic model, based on the run-off curve number method, to transform precipitation into run-off. A grid-to-grid routing scheme moves run-off downstream. Precipitation estimates are from the TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA). We first evaluated the TMPA algorithm using a...
Numerical simulation of ice accretion and consequent power loss estimation in wind turbine blades
Özgen, Serkan; Berker, Ayşe Meriç; Çakmak, Ali (null; 2019-07-01)
The aim of this study is to simulate atmospheric ice accretion on wind turbine blades and to estimate power losses. A computational tool is developed that comprises six modules, one for estimating the local flow velocity and the angle of attack using the Blade Element Momentum Method (BEM), one for solving the flow field employing the Panel Method, one for computing the droplet trajectories with the Lagrangian approach, a module for calculating the convective heat transfer coefficients using the Integral Bo...
Solar repowering of Soma-A thermal power plant
YILMAZOĞLU, MUSTAFA ZEKİ; DURMAZ, Ali; Baker, Derek Keıth (2012-12-01)
In this study, solar repowering of the Soma-A thermal power plant in Turkey is investigated using simulations. The Soma A thermal power plant began operation in 1957 and has served until 2010. In the current situation the installed capacity of the power plant is 44 MWel with two units. In the simulations full load and part load operations are considered and compared for three different cases: (1) current case; (2) solar steam generation; and, (3) solar feed water heating. Economic analyses are performed by ...
Geothermal energy potential and utilization in Turkey
Taşdemiroğlu, Ersoy (Elsevier BV, 1988-3)
The regional distribution of the geothermal energy potential in Turkey, recent surveys, and utilization areas are described.
