Investigation and Analysis of Meteorological Factors of Energy Generation According to Feasibility in Medium Capacity Hydroelectric Power Plants
Öz
In this study, medium capacity hydroelectric power plant (HPP) class was investigated and Yumrutepe HPP case was studied in this power plant class. For this purpose, the effects of parameters, such as energy generation realized of Yumrutepe hydroelectric power plant, monthly average partial pressure, temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and the mass flow rate of water passing through turbines, on the efficiency and capacity factor of the Hydroelectric power plant was calculated between 2018-2019 years. The data produced by these parameters were compared with the data in the feasibility study of the Yumrutepe hydroelectric power plant and investigated. These parameters were found to be very effective, and according to these results the highest real energy generation was achieved in March with 5932 MW and the lowest actual energy generation was in September with 782 MW. When the efficiency of energy generation is analyzed, it is calculated that the most energy generation is in December, not in March in 2018. Thus, it was concluded that high energy generation in the hydroelectric power plant generally does not create much efficiency. It was found that the capacity factor, which is known to decrease the energy generation cost per KWh with the increase, has the highest value in March with 55% and the lowest in September with 7%. Thus, it has been proved that energy factor and change of capacity factor is directly proportional.
