Determination of Hazards and Risks in a Solar Power Plant Using the Matrix Risk Analysis

Abstract

Electric power generation from renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy is an alternative option to energy generation from fosil flues. Renewable energy sources are more advantageous when we consider the environmental damage caused by fossil flues during energy generation. Our country is rich in terms of renewable energy resources with its location. When we consider the daily sunshine duration and the wind force in the flat plains, the number of power plants that generate electrical energy without harming the environment with solar panels and wind turbines is increasing day by day. In this study , as a result of field observations of a power plant that converts solar energy into electrical energy with solar panels in Çorum by instructors who have class B OHS certificate and field experince, the risk score was calculated by determining the hazards and risks by 5x5 L-type Matrix Risk analysis which is a qualitative risk assessment. According to the calculated risk score, twenty-four risks which include four high level risks, fifteen medium-level risks, and five low-level risks were identified and recommendations were made. We think that this study will make a positive contribution to the power plants to be established and to the actively onoing plants in terms of occupational health and safety.
