Abstract

Bu derleme makalesi, Türkiye'nin Adana kentinde şebekeden bağımsız yenilenebilir enerji üretimi için uygulanabilir ve sürdürülebilir bir yöntem olarak PV destekli hidrojen üretim teknolojisinin kullanımını önermektedir. Bu entegrasyon, bölgenin uygun güneş kaynaklarını ve ideal iklimini kullanarak hidrojen üretimini artırmayı, enerji bağımsızlığını, çevresel sürdürülebilirliği ve uzak bölgelerde ekonomik kalkınmayı desteklemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Modern elektroliz teknolojilerini yerel olarak mevcut yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarıyla birleştiren bu teknoloji, daha temiz ve daha dayanıklı bir enerji altyapısının oluşturulmasına önemli bir katkı sağlayabilir. Bulgular, PV destekli hidrojen üretiminin merkezi olmayan enerji talepleri için umut verici bir alternatif olduğunu, sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı desteklediğini ve şebekeden bağımsız bölgelerde fosil yakıtlara olan bağımlılığı azalttığını göstermektedir.

PV-Assisted Hydrogen Production Technology for Off-Grid Renewable Energy Generation in Adana, Turkey

Abstract

This review paper proposes the use of PV-assisted hydrogen production technology in Adana, Turkey, as a viable and sustainable method to off-grid renewable energy generation. This integration aims to increase hydrogen production, supporting energy independence, environmental sustainability, and economic development in remote areas by utilizing the region's suitable solar resources and ideal climate. This technology, which combines modern electrolysis technologies with locally available renewable energy sources, can make a significant contribution to the creation of a cleaner, more durable energy infrastructure. The findings indicate that PV-assisted hydrogen production is a promising alternative for decentralized energy demands, supporting sustainable development and lowering reliance on fossil fuels in off-grid areas.
