Making Performance Analysis of on Grid Photovoltaic Energy Systems: Example of Turkey

Abstract

The globalizing world, the rapid increase in industrialization and urbanization rates have increased the world’s need for energy day by day, making energy one of the most important agenda items of the world. Increasing demand has led the countries to ensure supply-demand balance to become one of the basic energy policies. One of these prominent energy policies is to ensure diversity in supply and to turn towards renewable resources that are not dependent on exhausted fossil fuels. One of these renewable sources is photovoltaic (solar cell) energy generation systems that generate electrical energy from solar energy. Solar energy is a good alternative to fossil fuels as it has an environmentally clean source feature. In this study, the performance evaluations of power plants were made by comparing the simulation results with data obtained from established fields in three different geographical regions of Turkey. In addition, regional production efficiency was analyzed by comparing the production values of the plants among themselves. An interface program that analyses instant power plant values was designed and a practical evaluation software was created.

Single Slope Modification Design for Experimental Study of Solar Desalination System Performance

“…Of the several desalination methods that have been developed, desalination is the oldest water distillation method in the world and has undergone many combinations (Sampathkumar et al, 2010). Therefore, the use of solar energy as the main energy to increase the temperature of water into steam is one of the solutions in utilizing renewable energy (Sahota et al, 2017;Kılıç et al 2021). In recent years the use of electrical energy is still used to obtain large amounts of energy and also produce a lot of fresh water, but to use large amounts of electrical energy, it also costs a lot to buy fuel.…”
