IMPROVING OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPORT POLICY AND A PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A GRID-CONNECTED 1 MWP PV POWER PLANT IN KONYA

Abstract

Ever increasing energy needs in today's world no longer corresponds to the continuous

production of new solutions are required. Supporting renewable energy sources has been required to

remedy this need. Renewable energy support for the world-wide accepted feed-in tariff (FiT) policy is

being used effectively. FiT support policies, structure and application vary between countries. In this

study a new support model is proposed. The most important aim of this model is to obtain highest

benefit for both the government and the investors. The proposed flexible pricing model is depending on

a country's economic status, the energy market and energy production plants technical data. Efficiency

increasing of the photovoltaic (PV) systems and reduction of the costs has increased the choice of

renewable energy. Thanks to the spread of environmentally friendly solutions and production, load flow

problems in electric power systems can be solved and losses can be reduced. There are many areas in

Konya to establish solar power plant. In this study a performance analysis of the 1 MW grid-connected

PV power plants which was founded in Konya was conducted. In addition, proposals have been made

for investors and legislators for more efficient and less costly energy production.

Yenilenebilir Enerji Destek Politikası Geliştirilmesi ve Konya’da Bulunan Şebekeye Bağlı 1 MWp Güneş Enerjisi Santralinin Performans Analizi

Öz

Dünya’da hızla artan enerji ihtiyacının karşılanması için sürekli üretim yapabilen yeni çözümlerin

bulunması gereklidir. Bu ihtiyacı karşılamanın yollarından biri de yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının

desteklenmesidir. Dünya genelinde uygulanan yenilenebilir enerji desteği, tarife destekleme politikası

olarak etkin ve yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Tarife destekleme politikalarının yapıları ülkeden

ülkeye değişiklik göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada yeni bir destek modeli önerilmektedir. Önerilen yeni

modelin en önemli amacı hem yatırımcıların hem de devletin kazancını arttırmaktır. Önerilen değişken

fiyatlandırma modeli ülkenin ekonomik durumuna, enerji piyasasının durumuna ve yeni kurulan

yenilenebilir santralin teknik verilerine bağlıdır. Güneş enerji sistemlerindeki verimliliğin artması ve

kurulum maliyetlerinin aşağı düşmesi yenilenebilir enerjiye yönelimi arttırmıştır. Çevre dostu

çözümlerin ve üretimlerin yaygınlaşması sayesinde elektrik sistemlerinde yaşanan yük akışı problemleri

çözülebilir ve güç kayıpları azaltılabilir. Konya’da güneş enerjisi santrali kurulabilecek birçok alan

bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada şebekeye bağlı olan 1MWp gücündeki bir güneş enerjisi santralinin

performans analizi de yapılmıştır. Buna ilaveten daha verimli ve daha düşük maliyetli enerji

üretebilmek için yatırımcılar ve yeni çıkacak yönetmelikler için önemli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
