Bağımsız Hibrit Yenilenebilir Enerji Sistemlerinin Tekno-Ekonomik Optimizasyonu

In contemporary times, all nations aim to achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2050, reducing their dependency on fossil fuels and utilizing renewable energy sources. In pursuit of this goal, solar and wind hybrid energy systems have emerged as prominent solutions. However, due to the seasonal nature of these systems, there is a need for energy storage systems. This study investigates the potential of a photovoltaic solar and wind energy hybrid system in a settlement in Izmir, aiming to assess its economic, technological, and environmental suitability. This study utilizing a literature review and the HOMER optimization program revealed that a system comprising 96,7 kWp of solar and 12 kW of wind power is economically viable and aligns with Turkey’s 100% renewable energy target. Nevertheless, due to the high investment costs, it is noted that such systems may only be economically feasible in specific regions.
