Investigation of the Potential for Electrical Energy Production with Renewable Energy Sources in Gokceada

In this study, requirement for electrical energy of Gokceada is analyzed that how can it be supplied with renewable energy sources. At relevant studies which are done about renewable energy sources, it is seen that cost analysis are done according to annual average values. But in this study, HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) program is used in order to make the system which is generated with computer to be as real as possible and also the effect of values which vary by the time like electric load, wind speed and solar radiation, to the electric system are modeled. The systems which are composed of solar panels, wind turbines and batteries, are modeled with various scenarios to obtain the optimum configuration of hybrid or non-hybrid renewable energy system. According to the simulation results; it is seen that energy costs of wind energy systems are lower for Gokceada. It is revealed that wind energy is advantageous in Gokceada especially with grid sales according to the grid connected scenario.
