TECHNO-ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF A PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL FACILITY: A CASE STUDY IN EDIRNE, TURKEY
Öz
System solutions such as the use of renewable energy are used as energy management applications to implement the necessary measures to eliminate energy waste, losses, and inefficiencies in industrial facilities, to meet the needs of heating, cooling, ventilation, electricity, hot water, and lighting energy completely or partially. In this study, it is planned to obtain some of the electrical energy consumed as an energy efficiency increasing application in the industrial facility located in Edirne, from solar energy, which is a renewable energy source. With the 910 kW Photovoltaic (PV) system planned to be installed in the industrial facility, it is aimed to obtain approximately 20% of the electricity need of the facility with solar energy. Thus, because of the use of renewable energy in electricity production, 543.7 tCO2 greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced, equivalent to 99.6 unused cars and pickup trucks per year. With the PV system installation, 1,183.0 MWh/year (101.737 TOE/year) energy savings and 318,376.66 $/year cost savings will be achieved. The payback period of the system is 2.7 years.
