Guclu, Tamer; Cuce, Pinar Mert; Cuce, Erdem
Increasing environmental pollution on a global scale and the rapid depletion of traditional energy sources have led scientists to search for clean and renewable energy sources. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy stands out as a clean, energy-efficient and abundant source. There are many methods of obtaining thermal and electrical energy from solar energy. Among these methods, solar water collectors are widely used throughout the world, thanks to their wide range of applications, from domestic hot water supply and space heating applications to industrial process heat. The main purpose of this study is to examine solar water collector systems in a general framework. Solar water collector types are introduced in detail, their performance is evaluated, and especially CFD studies on their thermal efficiency are presented. Solar water collector systems were examined comparatively in terms of energy efficiency and the parameters affecting their thermal performance were observed. As a general acceptance, evacuated-tube solar water collectors are more efficient than flat-plate collectors. Compound parabolic collectors are preferred in higher-temperature applications. Thermal efficiency can be increased by using nanofluids or hybrid systems.

Cuce, Pinar Mert; Guclu, Tamer; Cuce, Erdem
Concentrating solar power systems (CSP) is a very efficient technology for clean and renewable energy production. It basically works on the principle of focusing the sun's rays with the help of a reflective surface. There are two types of CSP systems: point-focused and line-focused. Point-focused ones are parabolic dish collectors and solar towers. Line-focused ones are parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) and linear Fresnel reflectors. It is possible to reach focus temperatures over 1000 °C with point-focused CSPs. Line-focused CSP systems are used to obtain thermal and electrical energy at temperatures below 500 °C. Among CSP technologies, PTCs are widely preferred. While it can be used alone, it can also be used in combination with other power generation systems by creating hybrid systems. In this regard, hybrid PTC/TEG energy systems created with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) come to the fore. These systems have higher electrical and thermal efficiency values compared to traditional PTCs. In this study, CSP systems, PTCs, TEGs and hybrid solar energy systems-based PTCs were examined in detail. It is concluded from the study that the total thermal efficiency of PTC-TEG hybrid systems can be enhanced by up to %70 with respect to PTC systems.

Güngör, Okan; Kahveci, Hakan; Gökçe, H. Süleyman
The accumulation of dust is one of the main causes of power loss in photovoltaic (PV) farms, and the effect of dust particles’ size and chemistry on system performance is often overlooked. This study has focused on a comprehensive analysis of the effect of different dust particles collected from common industrial production facilities in Turkey on the performance of PV panels in the indoor laboratory environment. The collected dust samples were analyzed to determine the dust sample particles’ chemical properties, size, character, and topography. The data for dust samples at different weights with changes in maximum power point (MPP) of PV panel has been collected using the artificial solar irradiation source system. Thus, the mathematical correlations (R2≥0.965) between the PV panel Thevenin resistance (RTH), fill factor (FF), MPP, and pollution rate were obtained using these collected data and particle swarm optimization (PSO). According to the results of the obtained mathematical correlations, marble dust is 2.3, 3.4, and 4.2 times less polluting than cement, fly ash, and silica fume, respectively. Additionally, it was observed that smaller dust particles block more light than larger ones of the same weight and reduce MPP, FF while increasing the RTH.

Tozlu, Alperen; Gençaslan, Betül; Özcan, Hasan
In this study, thermodynamic and thermoeconomic analyses of systems that produce electricity and heat through the use and storage of solar energy and near-surface geothermal sources are carried out. Three different configurations, which are the organic Rankine cycle (ORC), cogeneration system (CGN) and hybrid system (HYB), are coupled to the parabolic trough collector (PTC) system. The systems are named PTC-ORC, PTC-CGN and PTC-HYB are conducted. The reference system called PTC-ORC only produces electrical energy with parabolic trough collectors and it does not have a thermal energy storage system, whereas in PTC-CGN, in addition to the cogeneration of electricity and heat, thermal energy storage is also available. Finally, thermodynamic and economic analyses are conducted in the PTC-HYB with the assistance of near-surface geothermal energy, which is widely available in Turkey. In this study, the actual data of Ankara Kızılcahamam near-surface geothermal fields are taken as the heat source for the hybrid system. These facilities, each producing 1 MW of electricity, are first optimized with the help of parametric studies, and exergoeconomic analysis is performed with respect to optimum thermal conditions. The electricity production costs of PTC-ORC, PTC-CGN and PTC-HYB are found to be 0.257 $/kWh, 0.448 $/kWh and 0.401 $/kWh, respectively. The study demonstrates that thermal energy storage brings extra costs, while near-surface geothermal sources may help decrease energy costs from renewables.

Solar energy is thought as the main source of all energy sources in the world, and it can be used in many applications like agricultural areas, heating-cooling or electricity production directly or indirectly. Greenhousing is the first one of the agricultural activities that solar energy can be used directly in. Greenhouses offer us suitable conditions which can be controlled easily for the growth of the plant, and they are made by using a covering material that allows the sunlight to enter into the system. Covering material can be glass, fibre glass, plastic or another transparent element. This study investigates the solar energy usability rates and solar energy benefitting rates of a semi-spherical (modified arch)-type greenhouse system according to different orientations and positions which exist under climatic conditions of Bayburt. In the concept of this study, it is tried to determine the best direction and best sizes of a semi-spherical greenhouse to get the best solar benefit from the sun. To achieve this aim, a modelling study is made by using MATLAB. However, this modelling study is run for some determined shapes and greenhouses, and it can be used for different shaped greenhouses or buildings. The basic parameters are determined as greenhouse azimuth angle, the rate of size of long edge to short and seasonal solar energy gaining of greenhouse.

Kosunalp, Selahattin; Cihan, Ahmet
The major problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is the limited-energy source, typically small batteries, employed by sensors. In order to prolong the lifetime of the WSNs, a lot of approaches have taken the limited-energy problem as a primarily design criterion. However, inevitable energy depletion will eventually disturb the operation of the WSNs. Recent studies have shown that renewable energy sources would potentially provide an infinite energy source for powering WSNs. Solar energy is the most effective energy source for WSNs as it has the largest power intensity. Therefore, each sensor which requires a small amount of energy for efficient operation can harvest sufficient energy from solar. In this study, a platform is designed in order to allow sensors to exploit solar energy. The performance of the sensors in terms of the lifetime is practically studied. The results demonstrate that sensors can also survive when there is no energy available through storing energy in a super-capacitor. IRIS nodes are used in experiments as they are very popular in WSNs domain.

Kosunalp, Selahattin
Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) face the problem of a limited-energy source, typically batteries, resulting in the need for careful and effective utilization of the energy source. However, inevitable energy depletion will eventually disturb the operation of a WSN. Energy harvesting (EH) technology is acquiring particular interest, because it has the potential to provide a continuous energy supply in battery-powered WSNs. Solar energy is the most effective environmental energy for EH-WSNs because of its high energy intensity, which comes from a non-controllable source. Therefore, the prediction of future energy availability is a critical issue, as the amount of the harvestable energy may vary over time. In this paper, a novel solar energy prediction algorithm with Q-learning, called Q-learning-based solar energy prediction (QL-SEP), is proposed. Q-learning is an effective way of predicting future actions based on past observations. The distinctive feature of QL-SEP is that not only past days' observations but also the current weather conditions are considered for prediction. The performance of QL-SEP is simulated in this paper using real-world measurements obtained from a solar panel in comparison with the state-of-art approaches.

Çakir, Uğur; Şahin, Erol
This study deals with a comparison among five common greenhouse types with regard to total solar radiation gaining rates in greenhouse using season under some assumptions. Additionally, possibility of using greenhouses in cold climate regions is investigated. We analyzed five greenhouse types and developed a script in MATLAB platform for the solar radiation availability. This model is applicable and suitable for other buildings and places on the world. Even-span, uneven-span, vinery, semicircular and elliptic types of greenhouses have been analyzed. A "k" value (ratio of length to width of greenhouse) and greenhouse azimuth angle (GAA) are described. Seven different floor area are assigned for each greenhouse type such as 50m2, 100m2, 150m2, 200m2, 250m2, 300m2 and 400m2, respectively. For each floor area, k value is assigned from 1 to 10. Each greenhouse is oriented in 90 different angles according to south facade. Seasonal total solar energy gaining rates is computed individually for all possible greenhouse types, area, k number and orientation. Then a comprehensive comparison is made to determine the optimal greenhouse. The results show that greenhouses are usable and suitable for using in cold climate regions to increase the productivity. In addition, the elliptic type is the optimum one in all analyzed types of greenhouses for Bayburt conditions for all floor areas. It is followed by uneven-span, even-span, semi-circular and vinery type of greenhouses respectively. Shape and type of the roof are main effective parameters on solar energy gaining rates of greenhouses. Elliptic greenhouse should be preferred on the band of the latitude of Bayburt, unless there is restrictive factor like sizing and terrain.

Çakır, Uğur; Şahin, Erol
This study is a research made on evaluating solar energy utilization rates of the buildings and residences which are under the climatic and meteorological conditions of Bayburt. In the scope of this study, with the aim of enabling them to benefit from solar energy at the maximum level, a numerical modeling study in which we could determine the most suitable directions, shapes, and sizes of the buildings that would be built in Bayburt was carried out. Although the modeling was applied for sample buildings that have specific sizes and shapes and some results were obtained, this modeling can be used for other buildings which have different shapes and the most suitable direction and location designation that can be done. In the solar energy analysis made for the buildings, a year time was divided into four different periods. Related evaluations were made by taking into account that the building should be in shape and orientation which takes the maximum and minimum radiance in the summer and winter. Basic parameters were determined as azimuth angle, the ratio of the building length to its width, and the total periodical radiance that the building takes.

Erol Şahin
Bu tez çalışması Bayburt İli iklimsel ve meteorolojik koşulları altında bulunan sera ve konut binalarının güneş enerjisinden faydalanma oranları üzerine yapılmış bir araştırmadır. Çalışma kapsamında Bayburt sınırları içinde tesis edilecek seraların ve konut binalarının güneş enerjisinden en iyi şekilde faydalanması için en uygun yön şekil ve ölçülerin belirlenebileceği sayısal bir modelleme çalışması yapılmıştır. Oluşturulan modelleme belirli boyut ve şekillerdeki örnek seralar ve binalar için çalıştırılıp bazı sonuçlar elde edilmiş olsa da istenildiğinde farklı şekil ve boyutlardaki yapılar içinde kullanılabilmekte ve en uygun yön ve konum tayini yapılabilmektedir.Seralar için yapılan güneş enerjisi analizinde, bir yıl Bayburt İlinde seracılığın yapıldığı ve yapılmadığı dönemler olmak üzere dört farklı döneme ayrılmıştır. Bayburt'un bulunduğu konum ve iklimsel yapı dikkate alındığında; ilde kış mevsimi çok soğuk geçtiği için seracılığın kış sezonunda uygulanmasının mümkün olmadığı, yaz mevsiminde ise sera kullanımına gerek duyulmadığı kanaatine varılmıştır. Bu nedenle çalışma kapsamında benzeri diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak seracılık dönemi için ilkbahar (1Nisan-15 Haziran) ve sonbahar (16 Ağustos-10 Kasım) olarak iki farklı dönem belirlenmiştir. İlgili değerlendirmeler, seranın bu iki dönemin tamamında kümülatif olarak en fazla ışınımı alacak şekil ve oryantasyonda olması gerektiği düşünülerek yapılmıştır.Yapılan modelleme düz sera, eğik çatılı sera, asma çatılı sera, yay çatılı sera ve eliptik sera tiplerinin yedi farklı taban alanına sahip olması durumları için çalıştırılmış ve sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Temel parametreler ise sera azimut açısı, sera boyunun sera enine oranı ve seranın aldığı toplam dönemlik ışınım olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın ikinci kısmında ise seralar için yapılan analizlerin aynısı farklı kat ve daire sayısına sahip yedi farklı konut binası için seracılık dönemleri yerine mevsimler baz alınarak yapılmıştır.

Çomakli, Kemal; Çakir, Uǧur; Kaya, Mehmet; Bakirci, Kadir
The most popular method to benefit from the solar energy is to use solar water heating systems since it is one of the cheapest way to benefit from the solar energy. The investment cost of a solar water heating system is very low, and the maintenance costs are nearly zero. Using the solar energy for solar water heating (SWH) technology has been greatly improved during the past century. A storage tank is used in many solar water heating systems for the conservation of heat energy or hot water for use when some need it. In addition, domestic hot water consumption is strongly variable in many buildings. It depends on the geographical situation, also on the country customs, and of course on the type of building usage. Above all, it depends on the inhabitants' specific lifestyle. For that reason, to provide the hot water for consumption at the desirable temperature whenever inhabitants require it, there must be a good relevance between the collectors and storage tank. In this paper, the optimum sizes of the collectors and the storage tank are determined to design more economic and efficient solar water heating systems. A program has been developed and validated with the experimental study and environmental data. The environmental data were obtained through a whole year of operation for Erzurum, Turkey.
