The increase in energy consumption causes a negative impact on the environment. The most important factor in sustainable development is the widespread use of renewable energy. The transition to renewable energy sources in the energy sector has started to be implemented in different fields. Electricity is produced by installing floating solar power plants (SPP) on the water surfaces of seas, lakes and dams. There is no floating SPP installation in our country yet, and it has been seen that there is a need for experimental and scientific studies in this field. With this study, it is aimed to determine the floating SPP potential that can be installed on the water surface of the Yamula Dam, which produces hydroelectricity in the industrial city of Kayseri. The Global Solar Atlas (GSA) simulation program was used to determine the potential power of floating SPP and the electricity production, and the RETScreen Program was used for the greenhouse gas emission analysis. The case of installing floating solar power plants in 10% of the minimum water level area of Yamula Dam has been investigated. In the simulation, it has been determined that the total installed power potential of the floating SPP to be installed on Yamula Dam will be 626.6 MW. In addition, it has been determined that the floating SPP will produce a total of 872.3 GWh of electricity per year with this power.

Enerji tüketimindeki artış çevre açısından olumsuz etkiye sebep olmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir kalkınmada en önemli unsur yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının yaygınlaşmasıdır. Enerji sektöründe yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına geçiş farklı sahalarda uygulanmaya başlamıştır. Deniz, göl ve barajların su yüzeyleri üzerine yüzer güneş enerji santralleri (GES) kurularak elektrik enerjisi üretilmektedir. Ülkemizde yüzer GES kurulumu henüz bulunmayıp, bu alanda deneysel ve bilimsel çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışma ile sanayi şehri olan Kayseri’de hidroelektrik üretimi yapan Yamula Barajının su yüzeyine kurulabilecek yüzer GES potansiyelinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yüzer GES potansiyel gücü ile elektrik üretiminin belirlenmesinde Küresel Güneş Atlası (GSA) simülasyon programı ve sera gazı emisyon analizinde ise RETScreen Programı kullanılmıştır. Yamula Barajının minimum su seviyesindeki alanının %10’u kadar kısmında yüzer GES kurulması durumu incelenmiştir. Yapılan simülasyonda Yamula Barajına kurulacak olan yüzer GES’in toplam kurulu güç potansiyelinin 626,6 MW olacağı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, yüzer GES’in bu güç ile yılda toplam 872,3 GWh elektrik üretimi yapacağı saptanmıştır.
