Abstract

One of the biggest natural energy sources in renewable energy is undoubtedly wind energy. Huge-sized wind turbine towers are used for wind energy. In some cases, tribune towers of 10 meters can be used to meet smaller needs. These towers can be composed of structures such as steel, hybrid and reinforced concrete. Within the scope of this study, three different types of wind turbine towers was selected using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (BAHS) method which is one of the multi-criteria decision making methods. In addition to the analysis of installation and maintenance costs, criteria such as recycling rates and economic life are taken into account in this study. According to these criteria, different most suitable wind turbine was analyzed with BAHS method and the most suitable tower type was selected. As a result of the study, the hybrid type tower came to the fore in terms of recycling, maintenance, operation and installation convenience, as well as displacement and stress values.

Rüzgar Türbin Kulesi Alternatiflerinin Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yöntemleri İle Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Yenilenebilir enerjinin öneminin daha fazla ön plana çıktığı 21. yüzyılda, en büyük doğal enerji kaynaklarından birisi de hiç kuşkusuz rüzgar enerjisidir. Rüzgar enerjisi için büyük boyutlarda rüzgar tribünlerine ihtiyaç vardır. Bazı durumlarda ise daha küçük ihtiyaçları gidermek için 10m boyutlarında tribün kuleleri kullanılabilmektedir. Bu kuleler çelik, hibrit, betonarme gibi çok farklı şekilde yapılardan oluşabilmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında üç farklı tip rüzgâr türbini kulelerinin Bulanık Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (BAHS) yöntemiyle seçimi üzerine bir probleme değinilmiştir. Kurulum ve bakım maliyetlerinin yanı sıra ekonomik ömrü sonundaki geri dönüşüm oranları gibi kriterler bu çalışmada dikkate alınmıştır. Bu kriterlere göre farklı en uygun rüzgar tribünü BAHS metodu ile analiz edilmiş ve en uygun kule tipinin seçimi yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda gerek geri dönüşüm, bakım işletme ve montaj kolaylığı gerekse deplasman ve gerilme değerleri bakımından hibrit tipi kule ön plana çıkmıştır.
