Kütahya Area's Solar and Wind Energies Potentials' Techno-Economic Analysis

Especially in the beginning of the industrial revolution industrialization after the race in Turkey and increased world energy demand and supply; developing and industrializing societies have turned to renewable energy sources as well as energy production from fossil sources and have been working on using potential effectively and efficiently. The growth of the energy market has prompted researchers to find new sources and to use renewable energy sources more efficiently and efficiently. However, increasing air pollution parallel to industrialization and increasing emission values for fossil fuels make energy production ineffective from clean and sustainable sources of energy production. Within the scope of this study, in selected locality in Kütahya region techno-economic analysis of renewable energy potentials was made. Turkey examined the use and potential of renewable energy, solar and wind energy potential are discussed in detail for Kütahya and is made possible in two separate plant feasibility of financing scenario. Also; HOMER software was used to determine the costs of the systems and RETScreen software was used in the process of calculating the amount of energy to be produced and the climate data. In the study, "Repayment Period", "Internal Profitability Ratio", "Net Present Value" calculations have been made and the calculations made with RETScreen software have been verified. Separate cost analyzes were carried out for the Solar Power Plant and the Wind Power Plant with separate feasibility studies and two separate equity scenarios were created to examine the sustainability of the systems. Within the scope of the techno-economic analysis carried out in the study, two separate power plants with 1 MW installed power were designed for solar and wind power plants. Two separate financing scenarios were designed for each of the planned plants, and as a result; for solar power plants; repayment time: 11 years, net present value -13 642 $ and internal rate of return 9,8%, if 50% of the investment is covered by equity capital: 11 years, net present value value of $ 56 467 and internal rate of return of 11,9%. viii In the case that all of the investment costs are covered by equity capital when the wind power plant techno-economic analysis is performed, the repayment period is 15 years, the net present value is -375 859 $ and the internal rate of return is 5,9% the repayment period is 15 years, the net present value is 246 240 $ and the internal rate of return is 6,3%.
