Abstract

There are several types of renewable energy platforms. Because of requirements of places, where platforms were
built, every platform has different energy systems and qualities.
In this paper, the renewable energy potential of Turkish coasts was investigated according to different renewable
energy types. It is aimed to find suitable places for a near shore renewable energy platform and create a concept
design.
Firstly, the regions with highest energy potential according to four renewable energy types; wind, wave, current
and solar; were determined and five different regions were selected to analyze. For each region, the power data of
the different energy types were converted to same unit and the regions were ranked with respect to these results.
Then the existing platform types and alternative energy conversion systems were examined and for each energy
type a conversion system was chosen according to the characteristics of selected region. Finally, a concept near
shore platform was designed with selected systems.
