Buildings account for about 40% of total energy use in the world and it is estimated that building energy use will grow 45% over the next 20 years. However, a huge amount of this consumption is caused by the waste of operating unoccupied buildings’ services. With the drive towards improved occupant comfort as well as reduction in energy consumption, building automation systems are currently the leading technology for regulating building operations in a sustainable manner. However, since current building automation systems lack real time input of dynamic occupancy factor and they rely on predefined occupant comfort ranges, they cannot adjust themselves according to occupants’ comfort needs and do not operate with full efficiency. Although there are many studies on occupancy detection systems in the literature, a reliable and precise detection framework is still missing due to certain shortcomings of current approaches including uncertainties in detection, privacy and time-delay issues, inability for multiple detection, and high expense of deployment and maintenance. Considering the importance of occupancy detection and the drawbacks of currently available technologies, the aim of this study is to propose a wireless based framework for real-time occupancy detection that will be accurate, multi-occupant aware, punctual, and reasonable in expense.

A new economic feasibility approach for solar chimney power plant design Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Solyali, Oguz; Taylan, Onur (2016-10-15) Solar chimney power plants have been accepted as one of the promising technologies for solar energy utilization. The objective of this study is to propose an effective approach to simultaneously determine the optimal dimensions of the solar chimney power plant and the economic feasibility of the proposed plant. For this purpose, a two-stage economic feasibility approach is proposed based on a new nonlinear programming model. In the first stage, the proposed optimization model which determines the optimal pl...
A data-driven approach for predicting solar energy potential of buildings in urban fabric Duran, Ayça; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2022-7) Energy-efficient buildings that use clean and sustainable energy sources are urgently needed to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and mitigate climate change in cities. Buildings have great potential in harvesting solar energy by their solar exposure capacity. Developments in PV technologies also encourage the integration of PV systems into architectural applications. However, urban contexts can limit solar energy generation capacity of buildings by shading building envelopes and reducing availab...
A multi-band metamaterial absorber design for solar cell applicatıins Mulla, Batuhan; Sabah, Cumali; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-8) Solar energy is one of the most abundant energy in nature. Harvesting this energy in a more efficient way can be realized by metamaterials. Metamaterials which are manmade artificial materials can provide great absorption characteristics as well as reduced material costs with their compact structures. In this thesis, unique metamaterial absorber designs for thermo-photovoltaic and for photovoltaic applications are proposed and numerically analyzed in terms of their absorption capacity, polarization an...
A modular and cost-effective superconducting generator design for offshore wind turbines Keysan, Ozan (IOP Publishing, 2015-03-01) Superconducting generators have the potential to reduce the tower head mass for large (similar to 10 MW) offshore wind turbines. However, a high temperature superconductor generator should be as reliable as conventional generators for successful entry into the market. Most of the proposed designs use the superconducting synchronous generator concept, which has a higher cost than conventional generators and suffers from reliability issues. In this paper, a novel claw pole type of superconducting machine is p...
Improved wind power forecasting using combination methods Köksoy, Ceyda Er; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) Wind is an important renewable energy source to produce electricity thanks to its reliable, omnipresent and economically feasible characteristics and it has a growing proportion in overall energy production worldwide. However, integration of the generated wind power into the existing transmission grid is an issue due to inherently volatile and intermittent behavior of wind. Moreover, the power plant owners need reliable information about day-ahead power production for market operations. Therefore, wind powe...
