The generation of electricity from waves has attracted a lot of attention from researchers lately. Despite the vastness and accessibility of wave energy across the majority of the planet, there is a dearth of literature on the production of electricity and hydrogen from wave power. In this paper, a comprehensive simulation related to hydrogen production with an oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) system was employed for the Black Sea region. The simulations were performed by means of Homer-Pro software and the data were provided thanks to European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) as well as a novel web-based tool with regards to wave resources. Initial results of web-based tool showed that the hydrogen generation was directly impacted by considerable wave height and wave energy period. As a result, it may change based on the days and months. May had the lowest monthly energy production (3 MWh), while December had the highest monthly energy production (27 MWh). Moreover, the electrolyzers with different efficiencies were investigated with Homer-Pro. The electrolyzer with an efficiency of 85% at 100 kW produced 3301 kg annually, whereas the electrolyzers with 90% and 95% efficiency at 100 kW produced 3419 kg annually and 3422 kg annually, respectively. Apart from those findings, when more efficient electrolyzers were employed in the system, both the capital and replacement costs dropped at the same time.
Nuclear energy consumption, energy access and energy poverty: Policy implications for the COP27 and environmental sustainability
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023) Bashir, Muhammad Farhan; Ma, Beiling; Sharif, Arshian; Ao, Tong; Koca, Kemal; 0000-0003-2464-6466; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü; Koca, Kemal
The ever-increasing energy resource demand and subsequent environmental challenges mean that policymakers have shifted their focus to nuclear energy to address energy and environmental issues due to its unlimited potential. The current study investigates the role of nuclear energy consumption to unveil contextual information and report novel evidence concerning the significance of energy and environmental policies. This research is a novel attempt to outline methodological and topical contributions, thematic analysis, co-citation analysis, and country-collaboration analysis. As energy and environmental solutions have been prioritized within sustainable development goals, our research approach would allow policymakers and researchers to understand the extent to which nuclear energy can provide solutions towards environmental sustainability and identify research limitations to overcome by future studies. Moreover, our extensive analysis allows us to argue that nuclear energy impacts energy demand and is the most critical factor in fulfilling environmental commitments under regional and international environmental agreements.
