TY - JOUR T1 - Hybrid wind-solar reliable solution for Turkey to meet electric demand AU - Dawood, Kamran PY - 2016 DA - September JF - Balkan Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering PB - MUSA YILMAZ WT - DergiPark SN - 2147-284X SP - 62 EP - 66 VL - 4 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Energy is the most important part of life, it isessential for social and economic development. Turkey is importingmore than half of the energy from other countries to produceelectricity by thermal plants. Air pollution is also becoming quite abig problem for Turkey due to the thermal production of the energy.One of the most effective solution for air pollution is renewableenergy because nowadays renewable energy is environmentfriendly. Turkey has many geographical location advantages one ofthem is renewable energy resources. Turkey has limited fossil fuelresources and due to this reason Turkey must shift more electricityproduction to the renewable energy resources. Renewable energyhas less environment impacts as compare to the fossil fuels but stillrenewable energy sources are not reliable and competitive ascompare to the fossil fuels. The present study deals with theadvantages of Hybrid renewable energy systems (Solar and Windenergy) in Turkey.Map of Turkey with high resources of solar-wind hybrid energyis also presented in this paper. Integration of Wind and solarenergy into the Turkish energy will be one of the main tools inresponding to the growing electricity demand because it willdecrease the dependence of energy on single method. In addition,non-renewable energy is also compared with the renewable energysources on the economical basis.
