Energy production from Floating Photo Voltaic (FPV) systems is a promising field of technology that is expected to play an increasingly significant role in worldwide energy demand. FPV is a great alternative to traditional solar energy since it can increase the existing energy yield while supporting the electrical infrastructure and hydropower stations. Encompassing multifaceted criteria, site selection is a critical component in determining the overall success of FPVs. The purpose of this study is to present a site selection suitability analysis using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods combined with Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA). 10 site selection criteria related to the technical, economic and social were identified and a questionnaire was conducted among the field experts of solar energy. Then, a consensus analysis was carried out using consistent questionnaire results to reach a definitive decision of experts. This analysis gives relative weights of each site selection criterion. After that, 8 Hydroelectrical Power Plants (HEPPs) having water reservoirs were selected in different locations of Turkey to establish Floating PVs. The solar energy experts filled another questionnaire to evaluate each selected site for each site selection criterion. Then a new consensus analysis is performed for selected sites. According to the result of the study, although every selected site’s weight seems close to each other, Kemer HEPP, located in Aydın, Western Turkey, is found as the most feasible site among other alternatives to establish a Floating PV.

Preliminary Study on Site Selection For Floating Hybrid Wind And Solar Energy Systems In Turkey Yerlikaya, Nevzat Can; Çakan, Çağatay; Başara, Ilgın; Caceoğlu, Eray; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2021-09-08) 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 ...
MONITORING, ANALYSIS, AND SIMULATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC HEAT ISLAND EFFECT IN TURKEY: SEKBANDEMIRLI SOLAR POWER PLANT FIELD STUDY Demirezen, Emre; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Özden, Talat; Department of Earth System Science (2022-1-18) Today, solar energy conversion technologies, which are among the methods of obtaining renewable, sustainable, and clean energy, show rapid development. One of the most common technologies is Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant (PVPP), which provides electricity by direct conversion of the energy carried by the sunlight (or daylight). These power plants are socially accepted in environmentally-friendly and economical energy production. However, there are some debates about the environmental impacts of these power...
Evaluation of geothermal potential of Turkey using GIS based multi criteria analysis Öztürk, Şafak; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Geothermal energy could meet more than the world’s energy need. However, a very small amount of this energy is utilized by humanity, due to drilling and exploration costs for deep resources. Therefore, prospective studies have great importance in order to reduce the cost for exploration and utilization of geothermal energy. In this study Geographic Information System (GIS) based geothermal assessment techniques are used to determine the promising areas in Turkey. GIS is a combination of three features; oper...
Guideline for Optical Optimization of Planar Perovskite Solar Cells Koc, Mehmet; Soltanpoor, Wiria; Bektas, Gence; Bolink, Henk J.; Yerci, Selçuk (2019-12-01) Organometallic halide perovskite solar cells have emerged as a versatile photovoltaic technology with soaring efficiencies. Planar configuration, in particular, has been a structure of choice thanks to its lower temperature processing, compatibility with tandem solar cells, and potential in commercialization. Despite all the breakthroughs in the field, the optical mechanisms leading to highly efficient perovskite solar cells lack profound insight. In this paper, a comprehensive guideline is introduced invol...
Surface texturing study with aluminum induced texturing method on soda-lime glass substrates for thin film solar cells Ünal, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) It is essential to employ an effective light trapping scheme to decrease the cost of produced solar electricity further in thin film solar cell technologies. There are several methods that can be used for light trapping and aluminum induced texturing (AIT) is one of them. The aim of this thesis study is to obtain highly effective light trapping interface via texturing of glass surface by AIT process. The resultant texture is affected by several parameters such as Al thickness, annealing time and temperature...
