Abstract

In this study, an estimation study had been made on the rate of meeting industrial electricity consumption of electricity generation based on methane gas obtained from municipal solid waste in Turkey. While making estimates, curve fitting method written in Matrix laboratory (Matlab) environment, holt linear trend method and excel forecast sheet application were used. As a result of the studies, the lowest Mean absolute error percentage (MAPE) values were obtained as 0.07% for the population, 16.6% for municipal solid waste (MSW) and 5.9% for industrial electricity consumption (IEC). Landfill Gas Emissions Model (LandGEM) v.3.02 was used to calculate the amount of methane gas to be generated over the years. Considering the methane gas data calculated by the model, the amount of electrical energy that could be obtained between 2017-2025 was estimated. According to the values obtained, it was estimated that the electrical energy that could be obtained from methane gas in 2025 would be 2155.55 GWh, and with this generation value, 1.464% of IEC could be met.

Türkiye’nin endüstriyel elektrik tüketimine yönelik depolama gazı enerji potansiyeli

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki kentsel katı atıklardan elde edilen metan gazına bağlı elektrik üretiminin endüstriyel elektrik tüketimini karşılama oranı üzerine bir tahmin çalışması yapılmıştır. Tahminler yapılırken matrix laboratory (Matlab) ortamında yazılan eğri uydurma yöntemi, holt linear trend yöntemi ve excel tahmin sayfası uygulaması kullanılmıştır. Çalışmalar sonucunda en düşük ortalama mutlak hata yüzdesi (MAPE) değerleri nüfus için % 0.07, kentsel katı atık (KKA) için % 16.6 ve endüstriyel elektrik tüketimi (EET) için % 5.9 olarak elde edilmiştir. Yıllar içinde oluşacak metan gazı miktarını hesaplamak için ise Landfill Gas Emissions Model (LandGEM) v.3.02 kullanılmıştır. Model tarafından hesaplanan metan gazı verileri dikkate alınarak 2017-2025 yılları arasında elde edilebilecek elektrik enerjisi miktarının tahmini yapılmıştır. Elde edilen değerlere göre 2025 yılında metan gazından elde edilebilecek elektrik enerjisinin 2155.55 GWh olacağı, bu üretim değeri ile EET’nin % 1.464’lük kısmının karşılanabileceği tahmin edilmiştir.
