It is well-known that even though fossil fuels are the main energy resource in Turkey, use of sustainable energy resources such as wind and solar energy has been increasing in the past years and expected to continue on this trend in the next years to come. The suitable land for land-based wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems could also be convenient for various other purposes, such as agriculture. This study aims to investigate the suitable sites for a combined floating wind and solar systems in the seas and on water bodies on land in Turkey. Firstly, a literature review is conducted about floating hybrid wind and solar energy systems around the world to identify criteria to be used for site selection. A preliminary study on site selection is carried out for a hybrid floating wind and solar energy system using Geographic Information Systems. Maps such as wind speed, solar energy capacity and bathymetry are used. Although there are various other criteria that needs to be considered in site selection (such as environmentally protected areas), the result of this study could be useful as a starting point for developing a roadmap for future applications of alternative renewable energy systems in Turkey.

Feasibility Study of a Grid Connected Hybrid PV-Wind Power Plant in Gwanda, Zimbabwe Samu, Remember; Fahrioglu, Murat; Taylan, Onur (2016-10-14) The depletion of fossil fuel resources on worldwide basis has necessitated an urgent search for alternative energy sources to meet up the present day demands. Energy demand is growing in developing nations which makes a hybrid power system, consisting of a hybrid Solar Photovoltaic together with wind energy to be considered one of the best alternatives in renewable energy. These sources of energy can partially or fully meet Gwanda's demand with little or no disturbance on the country's stability. The object...
Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Investigations on Upscaling Effects and Optimization of Offshore Wind Turbines Putra, Muhammad Juanda; Oğuz, Elif; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-9-2) Scarcity and emission issues of conventional fossil fuels have caused a fast shift to renewable energy over the last decades. Wind energy, as one of the cheapest and most advanced forms of renewable 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 operational and maintenance costs of wind turbines. However, there are strict limitations to the design of onsho...
A techno-economic feasibility study of a gridconnected hybrid solar pv-wind power generation system in Zimbabwe Samu, Remember; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-1) The depletion of fossil fuel resources on a worldwide basis and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change as a whole have caused an urgent search for alternative sustainable energy sources to cater for the rising energy demands. The demand of energy is rapidly growing in both developing and developed nations thus making hybrid renewable energy power systems (RES), comprising Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy to be chosen as one of the best alternatives. However, on the downside, these...
Modeling electrical energy production in Northwestern Cyprus based on solar and wind measurements Yenen, Mehmet; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2015-1) This thesis presents the solar and wind energy assessment and aims to model the link between measurement and electrical energy production from wind and solar resources in Northwestern Cyprus. The measurement systems were installed and the measurements from these systems were analyzed thoroughly to meet the expectations of this thesis. Existing mathematical models were used to calculate electrical energy production figures for wind and solar energy. A circuit based Photovoltaic (PV) model from the literature...
Determination of wind power potential and optimal wind power plant locations in Turkey Çetinay, Hale; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Due to increased environmental concerns, utilization of the renewable energy, especially the wind power, gains importance. Like developed countries which have set their renewable energy targets for the long term integration, Turkish government has also set the goal as 20 GW of total wind power installed capacity in 2023. In this thesis, the wind power potential in Turkey is analyzed and different cases are studied to determine optimal locations for wind power plant establishment. In order to determine the w...
