    Developing a microgrid system for Büyükada Island in Istanbul
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2022) Masry, Salah; Haklıdır Tut, Füsun S.
    ABSTRACT: There is a strong link between access to energy and overall quality of life. Currently, around 1.4 billion people worldwide do not have access to electricity. Microgrids become a reality as a result of the massive shifts that have occurred in the energy sector over the last few decades. The micro grid concept anticipates a large number of loads and smaller-scale sources working together as a single controlled system providing both electricity and heat to its neighborhood. Microgrids can be used in a decentralized mode to offer complete control over the energy in a small region, or in a grid-connected mode to supply backup power to the national grid. Among the numerous islands around Istanbul, Büyükada is the fourth largest and most populous, and energy is provided beneath the water from the metropolis. In this regard, it is conceivable to deploy micro grid systems on this island in order to utilize renewable energy sources in Büyükada. Initial research revealed the island's potential for renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, and biomass demonstrated to have sufficient capacity to meet the energy demands. The study's goal is to evolve renewable energy, create a microgrid, and determine the most efficient and cost-effective approach to supply the island's needs. Environmentalists advocate for the use of renewable energy as a result of global warming, CO2 emissions, and the need for green and sustainable energy. The micro grid is one of the greatest choices for powering islands like Büyükada and extending the idea for the future chain of Micro grids. After using Homer Pro for designing and optimizing the microgrid which is around 128 million $ for a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) 0.2$/KWh which consists of PV panels, wind turbine, biogas generator, battery systems and a diesel generator for reducing the price around 85% renewable, however another microgrid is taken into account which is 100% renewable energy but the price is almost triple the price around 338 million $ with 0.53$/KWh for LCOE. All the details are mentioned in the chapter of methodology and the chapter of results.
