Micro-grids based on rooftop photovoltaic energy systems are rapidly
becoming widespread due to the fact that production takes place at the point of
consumption. By moving the supply to the demand point, energy transmission
costs are reduced in these systems, the demand is met with renewable resources,
the damage to the environment is minimized, the supply security is ensured for
the societies, and the energy dependency is reduced in countries dependent on
conventional energy. For this reason, the orientation to these systems has
accelerated. In addition to the advantages of rooftop systems, there are also
constraints that prevent their spread. The first of these constraints is the
inadequacy of the roof areas that can be installed. For this reason, it is necessary
to use these limited areas in an optimal way. Of course, when optimizing the
space, economic parameters, a focus on renewables and the right fulfillment of
demand must be taken into account. In this study, a solution proposal has been
developed for this sizing problem. In this context, Turkey's energy consumption
values were scaled and micro Turkey was formed. The energy demands of this
microgrid were met by using a rooftop pv system and hydro-based storage unit.
And cost optimization was carried out by performing a lifetime cost analysis on
this system. It has been ensured that the demand is met entirely from renewable
resources with minimum cost. Particle Swarm Optimization technique was used as
the optimization method. Optimization was carried out in Matlab Environment.
