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 storage systems are considered to be the solution to this problem. This study aims to investigate the effects of a combined system consisting of distributed rooftop photovoltaic systems and a central energy storage system on the main grid demand. The combined system is considered to be a grid-connected distributed energy system with the purpose of satisfying the energy demand of the Middle East Technical University, Ankara Campus. Modeling of the systems and analysis was run and the results were compared with the usual electricity demand of the campus. Additionally, potential adverse environmental impact reduction created by the systems was also included in the study.

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...
Green energy for the battlefield

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 ...

© 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 ...
