Climate change effects are on the rise due to greenhouse gas emission from the combustion of fossil fuels. The need to find alternative sustainable and renewable energy sources is of great importance. In Northern Cyprus, solar energy resources are abundant and must be utilized to provide energy security for the future and mitigate the effects of climate change. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are used to harness solar energy and produce electricity. The operating cell temperature of PV modules directly affects the overall performance of PV systems. Lower operating cell temperatures result in a higher module efficiency and therefore higher energy generation. Accurate estimation of the PV cell temperature is crucial to accurately assess the feasibility and economic viability of a PV power plant project. Several PV cell temperature estimation models are presented in the literature and are used in different applications for cell temperature estimation. PV cell temperature estimation models are investigated to assess the performance and reliability of the models specifically for Northern Cyprus weather conditions. Furthermore, environmental factors such as dust affect the performance of PV modules as dust layers cause the attenuation of sunlight which prevent the utilization of incident solar radiation by the PV modules. The accumulation of dust on PV modules is called soiling. The effect of soiling on the performance of PV modules is investigated.

Estimation of diffuse solar irradiation and its effects on PV power plant production at METU NCC Kavas, Genco; Taylan, Onur; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-8) Excess amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is the main reason of global warming. Renewable energy systems are one possible way to decrease GHG emission and solar energy is one of options; however, fluctuations on solar energy production is one of the main drawbacks. Accurate estimation of energy production from a solar power plant, such as PV-based plant is important to satisfy energy demand successfully. To be able to estimate energy production in advance, solar energy incident on PV modules should be ...
Newton-raphson based load flow analysis of AC/DC distribution systems with distributed generation Kaya, Ferhat Emre; Güven, Ali Nezih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Increasing concerns about climate change and global pollution rates emphasized the importance of renewable energy resources. Rising pressure to utilize green energy alternatives requires some changes and rearrangements on the available alternative current (AC) oriented electric power system. Moreover, electric charging stations, renewable and distributed electricity sources like battery storage systems, solar power plants use direct current (DC) and additional power conversion is needed for their integratio...
Solar Hybridization Paths for Cement Production Processes Polat, Onur; Tarı, İlker (2023-01-01) Cement industry is responsible for a significant portion of global carbon dioxide emissions leading to global warming and climate change. A substantial part of these emissions is due to burning fossil fuels to supply heat to the kiln at a high temperature. Concentrating solar collectors can be used for preheating the air supplied to the kiln or directly preheating the ingredients in the pre-calciner before feeding them into the kiln. Based on an existing cement plant’s available energy audit, a MATLAB model...
Optimum daily operation of a wind-hydro hybrid system Ercan, Eray; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2022-06-01) © 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 ...
GIS-based site selection methodology for hybrid renewable energy systems: A case study from western Turkey Aydin, Nazli Yonca; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) Renewable energy sources are presently being considered as alternatives to fossil fuels, because they are perpetual, environmentally friendly, and release negligible amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere while producing energy. A disadvantage of renewable energy systems, however, is that continuous energy generation is not possible by using only one type of renewable energy system, since renewable energy resources depend on climate and weather conditions. Two or more renewable energy systems can be ...
