Article Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Energy Management Systems for Smart Buildings(TÜBİTAK, 2025-11-25) Ozel, O.; Rıfat Boynueğrİ, A.; Yigit, H.; Tekgun, B.; Boynuegri, Ali RifatThis study presents a dynamic energy management system tailored for smart residential buildings, integrating thermal and electrical models to achieve both natural gas and electricity bill cost reduction. By harnessing wind and solar energy sources, the system aims to meet the diverse energy needs of modern homes. Through load shifting and thermal storage strategies, known as power-to-heat (P2H) approaches, the system ensures efficient renewable energy utilization while maintaining resident comfort. Validation of the proposed system was conducted using real-world data from the Yıldız Technical University Smart Home Laboratory, demonstrating its practical applicability and effectiveness. Results indicate significant reductions in both natural gas and electricity consumption, leading to substantial cost savings. Specifically, the proposed system reduced natural gas consumption by 3.79% and electricity consumption by 35.62%, highlighting its potential to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in residential settings. © This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Predicting Potential of Pressure Retarded Osmosis Power for Different Estuaries in Turkey(Wiley, 2018-11-29) Saki, Seda; Uzal, Nigmet; Gokcek, Murat; Ates, NurayPressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is an alternative renewable energy source recovered from the salinity gradient between the fresh water (feed solution) and salty water (draw solution). In order to implement osmotic power, the site-specific characteristics including the river and sea salinity, annual flow rates, ecological restrictions were taken into account. This study revealed a comprehensive analysis for a theoretical potential of PRO process for different estuaries in Turkey. In this study, the power potential prediction of PRO process for the Ceyhan, Sakarya, and Meric Rivers were analyzed via Gibbs free energy calculations. The net annual energy production is projected to be 167, 164, and 208 GWh/y for Ceyhan, Sakarya, and Meric Rivers, respectively. Meric River has the highest energy production of 208 GWh/yr with 186 m(3)/s mean flow rate and 245 mg/L salinity. These results clearly show that Turkey's rivers having high salinity and flow rate are feasible and applicable for making the osmotic power plant economically. Thereby, it is providing essential direction to the improvement of its design, installation, and operation. The developed methodology for the evaluation of the osmotic power potential of other rivers can be considered as a basis to assess the whole potential on a worldwide level.
