Abstract

In recent years, solar energy in Turkey is receiving increasing attention because of the high rate of population growth and modernization of the economy, requiring the use of energy efficient technologies and alternative energy sources. Moreover, Turkey is now highly dependent on external energy supplies about 68 % of energy consumed in the country is imported, and each year the demand for energy will only increase.
1.1 Background
Potential of solar energy in Turkey is very high due to the large number of sunny days per year. Until 2007, Turkey was not adopted any ...

- Introduction
In a critical evaluation of a nation’s plight in terms of financial stability and global competitiveness, access to electricity and energy resource is one of the identified basic keys to indicate success. However, in a struggling developing country like the Philippines there are remote areas that are not covered by electricity. The failure of the government to supply the population in such areas with electricity has been due to several interrelated factors. One of the major reasons why most remote provinces in the country do not have electricity is because of the absence of infrastructures that would facilitate ...

Introduction

One of the most important things, if not the most important one, that society needs today is energy. Energy comes in many form and moist literatures focusing on this topic would agree that among all the possible sources of energy, oil comes as the most heavily demanded, and hence the most important. In fact, one may argue that the geopolitical movements and decisions that have been made in the past half a century have been motivated by access to this important energy-related commodity. There are many possible sources of energy but even though oil just comes as one of ...

According to the data collected in 2013, the world energy consumption was segregated into various power sources such as 31.1% from oil reserves, 28.9% from coals, 21.4% from natural gases, 10.2% from biomass and wastes, 4.8% from nuclear sources, 2.4% from hydro energy and remaining 1.2% from other renewable sources. The most common form of energy used in industrial and household purpose was oil, coal and natural gas (Lawton, 2014). These resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas are natural reserves which are depleting due to extensive extraction over time.
Coal is one of the most burned and ...

Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...

Since the industrial revolution – an era known for the peak of coal combustion to supply the energy requirements of mechanically evolving world – humankind has been relying on fossil fuels for the majority of energy. However, although the fossil fuel production is at the point of exhaustion, the world, in general, still is experiencing energy shortages, which is almost always associated with high energy prices (Pimentel 1). Furthermore, environmentalists advocate for cleaner energy source, such as the renewable energy sources, as an alternative to fossil fuel due to the fact that the fossil fuel itself, as well as the production ...

Introduction
Communities around the country as well as around the world are setting sustainable development goals. Twidell and Weir (2006, 2) define sustainable development in general terms as “living, producing and consuming in a manner that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” Renewable energy sources are critical for sustainability. Renewable sources like wind and sun are different from fossil fuels because intense human labor is not necessary. Renewable resources do not negatively impact the environment which is also an important factor for reaching sustainability goals. Twiddel and Weir ( ...

Introduction

We are living in a world that is quickly losing its conventional energy resources. If we look at the state of the conventional fossil fuels such as oil and gas, we see that their prices have been highly volatile in the past few decades. The use of such fossil fuels also causes some serious environmental issues that include global warming, ozone layer depletion and acid rains.

Introduction

Wind energy has been in use as far back as 3000 B.C., when sailors in Egypt utilized this energy to move their boats. Today, wind energy is hailed as an important source of energy and is tapped in various regions around the world. Its importance stems from two factors: (1) it is renewable and (2) it is a clean source of energy that does not generate environmentally harmful emissions. To harness wind energy, a wind turbine is used. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into rotary mechanical energy, which can then be converted to electrical energy (“Wind turbine,” ...

Global Warming Phenomenon

The issue of global warming has been a critical problem across the entire world due to the effects associated with this condition. Global warming is caused by the increase in Earth's temperatures due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emitted from burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to provide energy are responsible for trapping heat and preventing it from escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere. Human activities like cutting down trees and burning forests for farming activities has been attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases that are ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics
Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion
Energy Source
The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Introduction

Efficient energy utilization is an important aspect of human life. The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can never be created nor destroyed. Thus, it is essential to utilize the energy available for us effectively and efficiently. Energy can be transformed from one form to another by use of appropriate transducers. When designing a house, it is essential to do it with the greatest regard to efficient energy use as well as safety to the environment. House designers should always come up with designs that promote efficient energy use. For instance, utilization of renewable energy should be maximized. ...

Introduction

In the design of energy efficient house, three key factors need to be considered. First is the materials and construction. The chosen materials should be durable, renewable and have high insulation levels. Second, the resource value unto which the construction is done is important. Finally, putting energy use at the centre of the design process is the key factor that surpasses all other factors.
Having realized that embedded systems in the distribution network could lead to great energy savings, especially in the domestic situations, it is feasible to come up with energy efficient house that can utilize renewable ...

The Carbon Tax Scheme (CTS) is an indirect tax levied on users of fossil fuel and was implemented in January 2012. The Carbon Tax is based on the Economic Principle of Negative Externalities. Negative externalities are costs to the society that is created when goods and services are produced. The negative effects of these activities are shouldered by the society so payment for that cost from the parties that are liable is widely believed to be the appropriate approach for managing it. In the case of fossil fuel use, users of electricity from these sources are taxed based on ...
