Afyonkarahisar rüzgâr enerji potansiyelinin TR33 kalkınma bölgesi illeriyle karşılaştırmalı analizi ve örnek bir fizibilite

Öz

Artan enerji ihtiyacı, fosil yakıtların tüketimlerinin artması, küresel ısınma ve karbon salınım değerlerinin yükselmesi nedeniyle tüm dünyada yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı yaygınlaşmaktadır. Ülkemizde de yenilenebilir enerji yatırımları, geçtiğimiz yıllarda büyük bir ivmeyle artış göstermiştir. Afyonkarahisar ili, günümüzde yalnızca gastronomisiyle değil, artan yenilenebilir enerji tesisleriyle de ön plana çıkmaktadır. Rüzgâr enerjisi kurulu gücü 350 MW olan ve Türkiye’nin en büyük rüzgâr enerji santrallerinden birini il sınırları içerisinde barındıran Afyonkarahisar’ın rüzgârdan ürettiği güç, yeni kurulan türbinlerle gün geçtikçe artış göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada Afyonkarahisar’ın rüzgâr enerji potansiyeli analiz edilmiş, TR33 bölgesindeki diğer illerle karşılaştırmalar yapılmış, bölgede yapılması olası enerji yatırımlarının uygulanabilirliği değerlendirilmiş ve uluslararası endüstriyel standartlardaki WAsP yazılımıyla simülasyonlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca rüzgâr enerji santrallerinin bölgenin kalkınmasına etkileri de tartışılmıştır.

Comparative analysis of Afyonkarahisar wind energy potential with TR33 development region provinces and a sample feasibility

Abstract

Due to the increasing energy demand, increasing consumption of fossil fuels, global warming, and rising carbon emission values, renewable energy use is becoming widespread worldwide. Renewable energy investments in our country have also increased rapidly in recent years. Afyonkarahisar province stands out not only in its gastronomy but also in its growing renewable energy facilities. Afyonkarahisar, which has an installed wind energy capacity of 350 MW and hosts one of the largest wind energy plants in Turkey within the provincial borders, is increasing the power it produces from wind day by day with newly installed turbines. In this study, the wind energy potential of the Afyonkarahisar is analyzed, comparisons are made with other provinces in the TR33 region, the feasibility of possible energy investments in the area is evaluated, and simulations are carried out with the WAsP software at international industrial standards. In addition, the effects of wind energy plants on the region's development are discussed.
