Renewable energy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Öz

Due to the depletion of fossil fuel resources and environmental concerns in recent years, the share of renewable energy resources in current energy production has been increasing. Wind and solar energies, which are among the renewable energy sources, stand out because they are clean, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. Wind and solar energy potential varies considerably according to meteorological conditions. The variable and difficult control of wind intensity and solar radiation cause some problems in terms of power quality, production consumption balance and reliability in solar and wind energy systems. Therefore, during the installation and operation of wind and solar energy systems, it is very important to know and predict the wind intensity and solar radiation characteristics of the regions where the systems are installed. Also to try to suggest the best places to establish the renewable energy farms and powerplants to reduce the cost of electricity at our country .

Ürdün Haşemit Krallığı’nda yenilenebilir enerji

Öz

Son yıllarda fosil yakıt kaynaklarının tükenmesi ve çevresel kaygılar nedeniyle, mevcut enerji üretiminde yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının payı giderek artmaktadır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları arasında yer alan rüzgar ve güneş enerjileri temiz, sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu enerji kaynakları olmaları nedeniyle öne çıkmaktadır. Rüzgar ve güneş enerjisi potansiyeli meteorolojik şartlara göre oldukça değişkenlik göstermektedir. Rüzgar şiddetinin ve güneş radyasyonunun değişken ve zor kontrolü, güneş ve rüzgar enerjisi sistemlerinde güç kalitesi, üretim tüketim dengesi ve güvenilirlik açısından bazı sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle rüzgar ve güneş enerjisi sistemlerinin kurulumu ve işletilmesi sırasında, sistemlerin kurulduğu bölgelerin rüzgar şiddeti ve güneş radyasyonu özelliklerinin bilinmesi ve tahmin edilmesi oldukça önemlidir, Ayrıca incelem bölgesinde elektrik maliyetini düşürmek için yenilenebilir enerji çiftlikleri ve santrallerinin kurulabileceği en uygun yerlerin seçimi büyük önem taşımaktadır.
