Recognizing that the energy-saving potential of combined heat and power (CHP) systems is underused, the Council of the European Union has issued a Cogeneration Directive. In terms of specific guidelines and rating parameters based on energy efficiency, the objective was to promote "high-energy cogeneration." This paper makes a critical review of the Directive using the rational exergy management model (REMM), which is a common sustainability metric that can better bridge the compound benefits of CHP systems with the environment. REMM is a common rationality metric, which is an indicator of how the supply and demand exergies in the energy sector are balanced. In this respect, the primary energy savings equation of the Directive was modified in order to factor in rational exergy benefits on the environment, which remained hidden so far Sample calculations made in the Euoropean Union (EU) FP6 Research Project HEGEL show that the rational exergy benefits in conserving primary energy resources are 62% more than what the Directive can indicate. Using parametric analyses, this study draws a new roadmap for better and optimized cogeneration systems.

Improvements in energy and water consumption performances of a textile mill after bat applications Kocabaş, Ayşe Merve; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2008) European Union’s Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive forms a comprehensive framework for industries mentioned in the Annex 1 of the Directive concentrating on the reduction of the environmental impacts of the industrial activities which can be implemented by the BREF Documents that provide guidelines for each sector. Among those industries, textile is a water and energy intensive one. In the present study, gains in terms of energy and water consumptions were assessed in a denim prod...
Assessing the potential benefits from the application of best available techniques in the textile industry Gülveren, Merve; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2021-7) The Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive, which was recasted as the Industrial Emission Directive (IED) in 2010, is the main EU’s legal instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial establishments. As a candidate country to join the EU, Turkey is expected to harmonize domestic legislation with the IED and implement it. In 2018, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization (MoEU) published a draft regulation entitled “Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC)” for...
Promoting energy efficiency in Turkey in the light of best practices at the level of European Union and selected member states: Denmark and Germany Öner, Başak; Ege, Aylin; Department of European Studies (2005) The aim of this thesis is to suggest the ways of promoting energy efficiency in Turkey in the light of best practices at the level of European Union and most energy efficient Member States, Denmark and Gremany. This thesis provides a critical evaluation of Turkish energy efficiency policies in transmission, distribution and consumption stages of energy by pointing out their weaknesses. The evaluations highlight the fact that Turkey has substantial energy saving potential in electricity distribution grids an...
Electricity market liberalization in the EU-15 member states, new entrants and candidate countries : measuring the progress between 1999 and 2001 Erişken, Cevat; Ege, Aylin; Department of European Studies (2004) Measuring the progress of the Member States of the European Union in liberalising their electricity markets has received considerable importance since the Electricity Directive 96/92/EC is introduced. In this thesis, first, a model based on the indicators-approach proposed by OXERA is developed to measure the degree of liberalisation in electricity markets. Then, the degree of electricity market liberalisation in the European Union-15, the New Entrants and Candidate Countries is measured in the years 1999, ...
Plug-in Electric Vehicle Load Modeling for Smart Charging Strategies in Microgrids Güzel, Saliha İven; Göl, Murat (2021-01-01) The widespread adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is a path to be taken towards a green energy future, yet the uncoordinated penetration of PEVs prompts overloadings and low voltage violations that the existing power grid is not capable of managing. This issue can be addressed by utilizing PEV load models in component selection and smart charging strategies. PEV load modeling researches focus on the aggregator's and system operator's perspectives, and consideration of individual PEV loads in charg...
