Sustainable Hydrogen Production with Hybrid Energy Systems: The Case of Çanakkale, Balıkesir and İzmir

This study is aimed to measure hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) potential windiest regions of Türkiye including Çanakkale, Balıkesir and İzmir. Photovoltaics (PV) panel two different wind turbine are used to increase renewable energy fraction. In addition to PV panels and wind turbine a thermal load controller (TLC) a boiler and a micro gas turbine (MGT) are used to arrange excess electricity and waste heat recovery. Over the several HRES configurations for three different regions, most optimum HRES configuration consist of PV panels, wind turbines, electrolyser, battery, hydrogen storage tank, MGT, TLC, and boiler. The lowest NPC and COE values which is $10.80 M and $0.0677/kW whereas the lowest LCOH values is calculated in İzmir region with the value of $1.20/kg.
