Abstract:

 


Due to the limitations in the
sources of fossil fuels as well as their environmental adverse effects, the
implementation of renewable energy sources and the more efficient use of
existing systems became critical to fulfill the increasing demands of our global
for energy consumption. Most renewable energy systems like wind and solar
cannot adjust their output to match cities fluctuating power demands.
Therefore, various energy storage systems have been developed and many of them
are under the investigation. Among various energy storage methods pumped-hydro
storage systems has been developed rapidly over the last decades because of
their capability of the large-scale energy
time shift and the ability of being integrated with renewable energy. The
component of system is an upper and lower reservoir connected with a
pump/turbine. The technique works as pumping water from down to up during low
demands on electricity and releasing back through the turbine to produce
electricity during the pick hours. The aim of this study is to investigate the
principles and factors affecting the alternatives for site selection.  The locations and topography of dams and
lakes of Turkey have been explored using Google Earth to search for suitable
locations, and the locations listed and ranked by factors that affect the
applicability, efficiency, sustainability, and environmental friendliness of
the projects.
