Abstract

In this paper we presented the electricity yield of photovoltaic power plant applications starting from 1996 is described and obtained results are summarized in the main campus of Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Turkey. There are four small scale photovoltaic power plants installed in the campus. They are installed on the top of Menteşe Library of Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, on the roof of Turkevi Student Cafeteria, on the façade and on the east and west towers of Staff's Block of the Building of Education Faculty and two double axis tracking systems. The systems are installed in 2001, 2003, 2008 and 2009 with rated powers of 10 kWp to 40 kWp. There are also several lamp-posts at the campus in various locations.  All power plants are monitored from the start up and the collected data are analysed in several conference proceedings and papers individually. This paper summarizes the electricity yield and the performance of photovoltaic power plants by the way that indicator of system quality which is called performance ratio (PR) and efficiency for each photovoltaic power plants, after their installation and also their presentation itemized.

MUĞLA SITKI KOÇMAN ÜNIVERSITESI'NDEKI GÜNEŞ ENERJISI UYGULAMALARI

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman
Üniversitesi’nde merkez yerleşkedeki 1996 yılında başlayan fotovoltaik güç
sistemi uygulamalarından üretilen elektrik enerjisi ve elde edilen sonuçlar
aktarılmıştır. Yerleşkede 4 adet küçük ölçekli fotovoltaik güç sistemi
bulunmaktadır. Bunlar; Menteşe Kütüphanesi üzerinde, Türkevi öğrenci
kafeteryası üzerinde, Eğitim Fakültesi Öğretim elemanları bloğunun yüzeyi ve
doğu batı kulelerinde ve iki eksende güneşi izleyen sistem şeklindedir. Bu
sistemler 2001, 2003, 2008 ve 2009 yıllarında kurulmuş olup 10-40kWp arasında
kurulu güçlere sahiptir. Yerleşke içerisinde farklı noktalarda güneş enerjili
aydınlatma direkleri de bulunmaktadır. Tüm güç sistemleri başlangıçtan buyana
izlenmekte olup elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmektedir ve bu sonuçlar zaman
içerisinde çeşitli konferanslarda sunulmuştur. 
Bu çalışmada fotovoltaik güç sistemlerinin kurulum sonrasındaki elektrik
üretimleri hesaplanmıştır.
