Climate Change and Global Warming are among the most critical global problems today. Their effects can be seen all over the world. The maritime sector contributes to global Climate Change and Global Warming with greenhouse gas emissions from coastal structures and ships. At the local level, it also negatively affects all life with environmental pollution, especially air and sea. Today, drive technologies are developing at a dizzying speed. In land transportation, electric vehicles are frequently seen. Electric drive systems are used in automobiles and large vehicles such as trucks and buses, especially in the transportation sector. This technology not only protects the environment but also significantly reduces operating costs. With renewable energy sources, these effects can be further improved. Today, fuel costs make up a significant portion of the operating costs of a fossil fuel-powered ship. The most important advantages of full-electric ships over fossil fuel-powered ships are the significantly reduced operating costs and zero-emission operations. It was aimed to develop a feasible and sustainable maritime technology in Türkiye in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems, with domestic and national technology suitable for the possibilities and conditions of Türkiye, within this dissertation. In this context, the case of operating full-electric propulsion ferries and taking advantage of renewable energy systems in Türkiye was evaluated with a multidisciplinary scientific approach.

Investigating preferences of households for residential photovoltaic systems: a survey study in Ankara, Turkey Aslıhak, Eren; Özdemir, Özlem; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Department of Earth System Science (2016) Climate change, a natural consequence of extensive usage of fossil fuels, emerges as the biggest human made catastrophe ever nowadays. Consequently, the need to increase the share of renewables in current energy demand became obvious. In this regard, solar energy emerges as the most abundant, widespread and sustainable source of energy in most parts of the World. On the other hand, relatively higher accounting costs, economic dislocation and social/cultural issues are among important barriers to form a resi...
Sustainable carbon constrained energy generation perspectives: Dataset Çubukçu, Nilay; Tarı, İlker (2021-12-7) There is a consensus that climate change, which is about to become a major disaster for humankind, is largely due to anthropogenic activities. Greenhouse gases (dominated by CO2) emissions play a dominant role there. Majority of the emissions results from energy consumption. Today, mitigating CO2 emissions consists one of the fundamental missions of the humankind. One such task is to reduce the global energy demand. Enhancing efficiency, recycling, promoting behavioral changes to reduce energy demandi...
Greenhouse effect reduction by recovering energy from waste landfills in Pakistan Zuberi, M. Jibran S.; Ali, Shazia F. (2015-04-01) Landfills all around the world are one of the major sources that contribute towards global warming and climate change. Although landfilling should be prioritized last in the waste management hierarchy due to highest greenhouse gas emissions as compared to other waste management systems it is still very common around the world. In this study, methane emissions are estimated by applying First Order Decay model to landfills in Pakistan over the latest data available by Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency....
Decarbonization of turkish public electricity sector: adopting sustainable energy portfolio Şahin, Hasret; Soytaş, Uğur; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Department of Earth System Science (2014) Sustainable energy settles in the core of the economic activities since climate change issues have arisen. Decarbonization strategies of the electricity sector target to reach sustainable energy by liberalization movements. To adopt the sustainable energy portfolio similar to European Union ones’, Turkey took a step in decarbonization of the Turkish electricity sector by beginning with the public electricity sector. In this study, the decarbonization process of Turkish public electricity sector is projected...
Software-defined wireless sensor networks in smart grids: An overview Abujubbeh, Mohammad; Al-Turjman, Fadi; Fahrioglu, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2019-11-01) Power systems across the globe witness structural challenges because of the increased concerns on climate change and vast growth in energy demand. Purposefully, new technologies and solutions have emerged such as renewable-energy systems, electric vehicles, and micro-grids. With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) technologies, Smart Grid (SG) concept is becoming more attractive, whereby it refers to upgrading conventional power-grid infrastructure in order to of...
