INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCES AND INNOVATIONS IN ENGINEERING, Elazığ, Türkiye, 10 - 12 Mayıs 2017, ss.384-389
In this study it is investigated to find the ways to
meet the electric demand (2966 kWh/day) of Inonu University with
off-grid and on-grid optimum wind turbine and photovoltaic panel
and to generate cost-effective electric energy. Homer software was
used for simulations and four different energy system scenarios
were carried out. Equipment consisting of energy system are wind
turbine, PV panel, battery and converter. In the study annual
energy production, annual energy consumption, costs of energy,
total net cost of the systems designed were analyzed. It was seen
that the costs of energy of off-grid wind and PV energy systems
exceeded grid power price and total net costs were quite high
according to the simulations results. The cost of energy of on-grid
wind energy system was lower than grid power price and cost
values of this system were negative sign meaning that incomes
were more than expenses. It was also seen that cost values
increased when wind turbine number and photovoltaic panel
capacity decreased and battery number and converter capacity
increased.
