Power solution obtainable from Hybrid renewable energy system is promising and clean. However, since it is weather-dependent, it cannot follow variations in demand. This inherent variability, especially in wind and solar energy, causes mismatch between energy production and demand mostly at the time of demand thereby causing grid instability and increasing the risk of blackout. The subsea pumped hydro can solve this problem by storing excess energy from wind and solar and then dispatch it when demanded. Unlike conventional Pumped hydro, it uses the sea as an upper reservoir, a hollow sphere on the sea bed as the lower reservoir and the pressure difference in the sea as the head. During pumping and charging operations, water is pumped out of the sphere. Similarly, during generating and discharging operations, water falls back into sphere and drives an integrated turbine. It can be utilized for ancillary services in the electricity market to generate revenue. Existing literatures have investigated the techno-economic feasibility of this technology in various dimensions. However, this study focus on balancing the numerous offshore wind energy and solar energy in Danish energy mix. Also, it considers the economic viability of operating the subsea pumped hydro for ancillary services in the Nord Pool using scenario-based studies in understudied location

Assessment of renewable energy based micro-grids for small communities Sadati, S.M. Sajed; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-7) Deploying renewable energy systems to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize renewable energy systems with conventional power systems and include energy storage systems. In this study, the feasibility analysis of two cases for electricity generation systems as (i) photovoltaic (PV)-battery-pumped hydro system (PHS) and (ii) PV-wind-battery are presented as a Renewable Energy Micro-Gr...
Design of a Power Plant Emulator for the Dynamic Frequency Stability Studies Duymaz, Erencan; Pourkeivannour, Siamak; Ceylan, Doğa; ŞAHİN, İLKER; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25) Increasing renewable energy integration to grid requires inertial support to improve frequency stability of the power system. Inertial support of renewable energy systems requires hardware verification in order to test practical limitations and absence of dynamical grid simulators makes verification studies more challenging. In this study, a test rig which is composed of a DC motor, an AC synchronous generator and an external flywheel, is developed in order to provide a platform in which dynamic properties ...
Performance Analysis of Data Mining Techniques for Improving the Accuracy of Wind Power Forecast Combination Koksoy, Ceyda Er; Ozkan, Mehmet Baris; Küçük, Dilek; Bestil, Abdullah; Sonmez, Sena; Buhan, Serkan; Demirci, Turan; Karagöz, Pınar; Birturk, Aysenur (Springer International Publishing, 2015) Efficient integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid has become one of the challenging problems in recent years. This issue is more critical especially for unstable energy sources such as wind. The focus of this work is the performance analysis of several alternative wind forecast combination models in comparison to the current forecast combination module of the wind power monitoring and forecast system of Turkey, developed within the course of the RITM project. These accuracy improve...
Sizing of Photovoltaic-Wind-Battery Hybrid System for a Mediterranean Island Community Based on Estimated and Measured Meteorological Data Sadati, S. M. Sajed; Jahani, Elham; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (2018-02-01) Deploying renewable energy systems (RES) to supply electricity faces many challenges related to cost and the variability of the renewable resources. One possible solution to these challenges is to hybridize RES with conventional power systems and include energy storage units. In this study, the feasibility analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)wind-battery hybrid system is presented as a microgrid for a university campus-scale community on a Mediterranean island. Models for PV and wind turbine syste...
Designs of diffractive optical elements for solar energy harvesting Yolalmaz, Alim; Yüce, Emre (2019-08-01) © 2019 IEEE.Solar energy has been chosen as 'the source of energy' given its effectiveness and promises that push researchers forward for developing enhanced solar panels. Diffractive optical elements promise efficient spatial and spectral control of the sunlight that can fulfill the need for increased conversion efficiency. Here, we present designs of diffractive optical elements that can spectrally split broadband sunlight as well as serving as a solar concentrator. We show that a single wavelength can be...
