Özet

This comprehensive study aimed to develop a hybrid system capable of fulfilling the yearly energy demand of the Erciyes University Campus, which amounts to 30.4 GWh. The hybrid system consists of photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, converters and batteries. An optimization process was carried out to find the most suitable system configuration considering various criteria, including net present cost (NPC), levelized cost of energy (COE), operating cost, initial cost, and cost associated with the battery to be used in the system. The study was also conducted to determine the most suitable energy storage solution for a hybrid system that uses both wind and solar energy sources. This study presented an innovative approach to optimizing the selection of the most suitable energy storage battery for such systems. The wind and solar potential of the specified area were taken from the NASA database using HOMER Pro. The optimized system generated a power of 52.7 MWh with a COE of $0.352, it covered the annual electricity needs of Erciyes University, and the produced excess energy of 18.6 MWh/yr was utilized with the energy storage system.
