Abstract:

Due to the greenhouse effect, climate changes have begun to feel their negative effects on our world day by day. Therefore, in order to reduce the use of fossil fuels, using clean energy sources such as the sun and wind and the limited water resources economically has now passed as a vital value. The aim of this study is to investigate the energy production performances and usage possibilities of solar and wind energy systems, especially in the time period of agricultural irrigation in Eskisehir climate conditions. In the project, the water extracted from the irrigation wells by using the energy obtained from the systems is stored in the pool with a capacity of 350 tons and used when irrigation is required. According to the results of the project energy produced by the 1 kWe installed capacity of systems have been realized as 974 kWh/kWe of wind power, and 1.357.74 kWh/kWe of PV solar systems. The system's self-payback period was calculated as 12,5 years for wind power, and 7,1 years for solar PV systems. In terms of cost analysis; in the case of using wind and PV solar energy systems as alternative energy sources in the supply of irrigation water, wind energy is obtained 1,87 times more expensive than PV solar energy. As a result, the PV solar energy system; stood out as more advantageous in terms of unit energy cost, convenience of installation and maintenance.
