© 2022 Elsevier LtdDue to the negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment and health, energy supply is shifting towards renewables. The integration of renewable energy systems is challenging due to the intermittent nature of renewables, however this can be mitigated through storage. Uncertainty in electricity prices in spot markets further complicates the operation of these systems. Pumped storage hydropower is currently the most viable form of large-scale energy storage, and operation of renewable energy systems together with pumped storage hydropower plants is highly efficient. In this study, optimum daily operation strategies are developed for a wind-hydro hybrid system. A long short-term memory network to forecast electricity prices in the day-ahead spot electricity market is coupled with an optimization model to maximize daily revenue. Various scenarios are considered to investigate the benefits of future electricity price estimations. For the wind-hydro hybrid system with 25 MW wind turbine, the net revenue for one-year test period increased 3.5% when forecasted electricity prices with the proposed long short-term memory network is used instead of electricity prices of the previous day. It is observed that increasing the installed capacity of wind turbines compensates for the loss resulting from the poor forecasting of electricity prices; however, the operation schedules of the pump and the hydro turbine do not change when the optimization model uses a simulation duration of one day with hourly time steps.

Green energy for the battlefield Aslan, Murat; Isik, Halil (2017-01-01) Population of the world is growing with increasing rate and it seems that existing fossil fuel energy sources will not be able to meet energy demand in the near future. Energy is not only crucial for civil sector but also it is one of the most important assets in defense sector. Energy for military operations is mostly provided from fossil fuel as it is the case in other sectors; however, fossil fuels have hazardous effects to the environment and cause global environment concerns. These drawbacks of fossil ...
MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A COMBINED SYSTEM OF MULTIPLE ROOFTOP PV SYSTEMS AND A CENTRAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR METU ANKARA CAMPUS Köker, Nesrin Irmak; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Özden, Talat; Department of Earth System Science (2022-9-01) Climate change, increasing energy demand, and natural resource depletion lead to a rapid trend in the adaptation of renewable energy technologies. Especially solar energy as the most abundant source, accompanied by decreasing system prices and increasing social acceptance, rooftop photovoltaic systems became one of the most common small-scale energy generation practices. However, renewable energy resources, solar energy exclusively, create imbalanced energy production throughout the day and year. Energy sto...
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...
Overcoming problems in Turkey's renewable energy policy: How can EU contribute? Sirin, Selahattin Murat; Ege, Aylin (2012-09-01) Fossil fuels cover most of the energy demand in the world, and this creates significant social, economic and environmental problems. Many countries have taken measures to increase the share of renewable energy sources (RES), especially in electricity generation, and the review of literature shows that the success of a country in RES diffusion depends on a comprehensive renewable energy policy which combines political commitment with stable and long-term support measures that stimulate technological innovati...
Sustainability Assessments of Urban Railway Systems: Case Study Evaluations in Turkey YÜKSEL, MÜGE; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Springer, 2019-01-01) There are ongoing efforts to control global warming via reducing CO2 emissions, which are mostly based on human activities. Through life cycle assessment (LCA) carbon footprint (CFP) calculations provide a clear picture of embodied carbon (EC). In this study, the significance of EC estimation and reduction for railway projects are explored. The main motivation is having applicable sustainability strategies for railway systems in Turkey. Since there is no certification system, range or database, these effort...
