evaluate and analyze the techno-economic of proposing a 1MW grid-connected PV
power plant in Lefke town. The potential of proposed a PV plant was also
assessed from environmental viewpoints by calculating the annual total amount
of CO2. Three different tracking systems (Open surface, Vertical-axis, and
Two-axis) were investigated. The analysis showed that the LCOE for an Open
surface, Vertical-axis, and Two-axis tracking systems were 0.150$/kWh,
0.115$/kWh and 0.109$/kWh, respectively. The resulting GHG emissions were
varied between 1321 and 1829 tCO2/year while the energy performance, assessed as
EP, was varied between 11.2 and 16.8 years. This study concluded that the PV
plant could be used as a viable alternative to reduce the GHG emissions in
Northern Cyprus and generating electricity from environmentally friendly
scours.   </span> <span lang="tr" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="tr"> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Emrah DOĞAN}
