Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi ANG botanik bahçesi enerji ihtiyacının yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından karşılanabilmesi analizi

Historically, the work done with primitive and physical labor and the primary energy sources used have brought the necessity of using energy by transforming it into different forms with the development of technology today. Undoubtedly, where there is technology, electrical energy or primary energy sources that mobilize this technology come into play. The largest share among primary energy sources belongs to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are also the main actors in electrical energy production. However, since they are non-renewable resources, their reserves are gradually decreasing. For this reason, alternative and renewable energy sources have become a priority agenda of governments around the world. In this study, within the scope of renewable energy use, Artvin Çoruh University ANG Botanical Garden campus, alternative, renewable resources for energy needs are discussed. In the study, three separate resource evaluations were made as wind energy, solar energy and the use of pruning waste as an energy source. It is aimed to create awareness for the evaluation of local and domestic resources as energy sources and to make investments in this direction. In the study, the electrical energy to be obtained from wind energy for Artvin province remained at very low levels with a value of 0,0845 kW per hour. The solar energy project was prepared in PVSOL simulation program. With the grid-connected system, a project that produces 1.218.340 kWh of energy annually to meet the energy needs of the center and pays for itself in 8,8 years has been obtained. Finally, elemental analysis was carried out for a mixed sample of pruning waste from various trees in the center. It was suggested that the annual tree pruning waste of around 3.500 kg could be utilized by incineration, and as an alternative, the 27 tons of annual food waste generated after lunch in all campuses could be used together to generate biogas energy by anaerobic digestion.
