The 2nd World Energy Storage Conference (WESC-2022), İstanbul, Türkiye, 18 - 21 Aralık 2022, ss.1-3
In this study, a system is designed to meet the electrical and thermal requirements of a sustainable community of 250
houses in Istanbul city. This system has renewables such as wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) panels to require electricity
need. For the thermal load need, natural gas and hydrogen mixture is utilized. Hydrogen is generated by an electrolyzer
fed from renewable sources. This system is analyzed by the HOMER Pro software and compared with natural gas-based
system economically and environmentally. The net present costs of the natural gas and natural gas/hydrogen blend-based
systems are $5.7 million and $6.68 million, respectively. The carbon dioxide emissions for these systems are observed as
504.4 tons/year and 469.1 tons/year, respectively.
