Küresel ölçekte artan enerji tüketiminin sonucu olarak, fosil kökenli yakıtların enerji üretimindeki yüksek payı göz önüne alındığında sera gazlarının salınımı da artmakta böylece küresel ısınmaya önemli bir neden oluşturmaktadır. Yeryüzünde Fosil kökenli enerji kaynaklarının sı…
With the increasing attention of renewable energy development in distribution power system, artificial intelligence (AI) can play an indispensiable role. In this thesis, a series of artificial intelligence based methods are studied and implemented to further enhance the performa…
Electricity is a crucial aspect of modern society and plays a crucial role in economic development. It has contributed to the global economy for decades as it influences all areas of a country's development including industrial, societal, economic, and individual livelihood. The…
One of the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goal 12 (“Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”) is the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies “in a manner that protects the poor and the affected communities” (UN, 2019). Fossil fuel subsidies exacerbate a wi…
Kuwait is committed to implementing the Kyoto Protocol in “Vision 2035” to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by shifting to the use of wind and solar energies [1]. The specific goal of the Vision 2035 is for renewables to comprise 15% of Kuwait’s electrical generation by 2030. Win…
As one of widely deployed renewable energy resources, PV power is playing a very important role in microgrids today. It has advantages such as making the best of natural solar energy and being friendly to our environment. In this thesis, solar PV based microgrid is studied using…
Due to the rapid penetration of solar power systems in residential areas, there has been a dramatic increase in bidirectional power flow. Such a phenomenon of bidirectional power flow creates a need to know where Photovoltaic (PV) systems are located, what their quantity is, and…
Increasing the emissions of carbon have a negative impact on our environment, since the beginning of industrial revolution. There is a wide consensus that climate change occurred due to human behavior, mainly from burning fossil fuels. This raises the future concern of the world…
Clean and environmentally friendly technologies are centralizing industry focus towards obtaining long term solutions to many large-scale problems such as energy demand, pollution, and environmental safety. Thin film solar cell (TFSC) technology has emerged as an impressive phot…
Harvesting offshore wind energy has been a primary stimulus for research recently as more shreds of evidence show the highly unexploited potential it carries. As water depth increases, fixed-bottom foundations become impractical and floating solutions must be adopted for offshor…
Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is highly promising feedstock for biofuel production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known as key regulators in different biological processes including sugar accumulation in sweet sorghum plants. In contrast, little is known about the expression of so…
The Nigerian government established a domestic liquefied petroleum gas penetration program (DLPGPP) to support Nigerian households that still use traditional fuels, which are inefficient and hazardous for users while polluting and degrading the environment. Little is known about…
The research objective of the proposed dissertation is to make best use of available distributed energy resources to meet dynamic market opportunities while accounting for AC physics of unbalanced distribution networks and the uncertainty of distributed solar photovoltaics (PV).…
Renewable energy sources (RESs) are considered as the most reliable option in the terms of reducing CO2 emission. RESs are known by their low operation and maintenance (O&M) cost and easier installation. In the previous years, their reliability was less due to their uncertainty;…
Gelişmekte olan ülkelerin sanayi alanında ilerleme çabaları ve hamleleri beraberinde enerjiye duyulan ihtiyacı da arttırmaktadır. Teknoloji alanındaki ilerleme ve refah seviyesinin yükselmesi ile birlikte, bireysel enerji tüketimi yıllar içerisinde düzenli bir artış göstermiştir…
PV (fotovoltaik) panellerin sıcaklığı, elektrik üretirken yükselmektedir. Bu yüzden, panellerin elektriksel verimi azalmakta ve sürekli soğutulması gerekmektedir. İşte, bu yüzden fotovoltaik termal sistemler, PV panel sıcaklığını düşürmek ve termal enerji kazanmak için dizayn ed…
Özellikle 1970'ler sonrası etkisi ve boyutları hızla büyüyen insan faaliyetleri altında doğa hızla yok olmaya başlamıştır. Başta fosil enerji kullanımının neden olduğu bu yok oluş ile mücadele ve çevre sorunlarının çözümü için yeşil ekonomi önemli bir araç olarak görülmektedir. …
This thesis presents a supervisory hybrid controller for the automatic operation and control of a wind energy conversion and battery storage system. The supervisory hybrid control scheme is based on a radically different approach of modeling and control design, proposed for the …
In this thesis, the impact of wind energy on isolated wind-diesel hybrid grid system and on remote grid connected wind farm were studied. In the case of the wind-diesel system a detailed mathematical model of Cartwright grid system is presented. The impact of a grid connected wi…
