A Combined Renewable Energy System Demonstration for Providing the Energy Need at Esentepe (Windhill) Campus in Sakarya University

Abstract

Energy need of the world is directly increasing with population and technology. Limited traditional sources like fossil fuel are not sustainable and usage of these sources causes harmful conditions for environment. The continuous and increasing energy usage must be provided from the continuous, natural and renewable energy sources instead of traditional sources.  Wind and solar energy applications are important types of renewable energy class with features like being clean and environmentally friendly. Because of these remarkable features, these renewable energy sources are preferred and used all over the world. In Turkey, an outstanding increase has taken place in installed power during last 10 years. In this study, the electricity requirement of a building on the campus of Sakarya University is aimed to be compensated with a combined solar/wind energy system. First, the amount of energy consumption of selected building in a year was evaluated. The required parameters for wind energy like wind speed were provided from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources page. And, solar energy parameters were taken from Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) established by European Commission. The calculations were made by using these parameters and return of the investment was determined.
