Abstract
In this study, a PV/Wind hybrid power generation system was studied with using meteorological data of Bursa province. Two specific years (2011, 2014) were chosen for the dynamic simulations. The designed hybrid system consists of PV panels and a wind turbine. The outcome of the study shows that with the proposed 1 MW PV + 2 MW wind turbine system, it is possible to generate enough electricity to compensate the annual electricity requirement of 450 households which can be considered as a small district area. Levelized cost of energy is found a value between $ 0.413-0.568/kWh. PBP of the system is found a value around 20 years. It was concluded that it is essential to offer adequate incentives for renewable-based power applications to make them economically beneficial.
Highlights
Energy is the most important parameter for the economic and social development of any country
It may be seen that the power output of the WT-2 is greater than the power output of other wind turbine models
WT-2 was chosen for the hybrid energy system
Summary
Energy is the most important parameter for the economic and social development of any country. The annual global energy requirement is 16 Terra Watt, and most of it comes from fossil fuels. Sustainable energy has significant importance for the sustainable development of Turkey, as it imports approximately 70% of its energy requirement Effective use of its own resources has become crucial (Kok and Benli, 2017). Renewable energy resources are considered as clean sources of energy, and they help to diversify energy portfolios and decrease import-based energy dependency (Erdil and Erbıyık, 2015). Turkey has a significant amount of renewable energy sources. Renewable-based power systems can be considered as effective solutions for sustainable development of Turkey in the long term
