Özet:

 One of the biggest problems of our time is the rapid depletion of energy resources. Many developed and developing countries require more energy compared to other nations. In order to meet the increasing energy demands and reduce energy costs, there has been a significant effort to research renewable energy sources and enhance their efficiency. Solar energy is among the prominent renewable energy sources. Various methods exist for harnessing usable energy from solar power, and one such method is concentrated solar power systems. In these systems, water is heated and converted into steam, which is then sent directly to a steam turbine to generate electricity without creating carbon emissions. This study focuses on the thermodynamic analysis of a specific type of concentrated solar power system, namely the parabolic trough collector system, for three regions in Yemen. Yemen was selected as the study area due to its energy shortage resulting from the ongoing internal conflict. The ongoing civil war in Yemen has caused damage to the electricity generation and distribution infrastructure, resulting in frequent regional power outages. The population living in areas outside the control of the Yemeni government faces various challenges due to these outages, such as difficulties in accessing clean water, basic healthcare services, and increased unemployment resulting from reduced industrial production. The decline in oil and natural gas extraction due to the war, coupled with damage to energy distribution facilities and infrastructure, has created an imbalance between energy supply and demand. This analysis aims to provide a preliminary assessment for meeting the regions electricity needs through alternative energy sources. The establishment of concentrated solar power systems for electricity generation from solar energy on a national and regional scale would alleviate these difficulties. It would enhance energy security, address energy shortages through sustainability, and stimulate employment opportunities by serving as a catalyst for new alternative energy projects.

 Günümüzün en büyük problemlerinin başında enerji kaynaklarındaki hızlı tükenme gelmektedir. Gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan birçok ülke, diğer ülkelere göre daha fazla enerjiye ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Her geçen gün artan enerji ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak ve enerji maliyetlerini azaltmak maksadıyla yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının araştırılması ve verimlerinin artırılması üzerine çalışmalara hız verilmiştir. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının başında güneş enerjisi gelmektedir. Güneş enerjisinden kullanılabilir enerji üretimi için birçok farklı yöntem mevcuttur. Bu yöntemlerden biri de yoğunlaştırıcılı güneş enerjisi sistemlerdir. Bu sistemlerde ısınarak geçen su ve buhar son üniteden istenilen sıcaklık ve basınç değerlerine ulaşıldığında üretilen buhar doğrudan buhar türbinine gönderilerek karbon emisyonu yaratmadan elektrik enerjisi üretilir. Çalışmada, yoğunlaştırılmış güneş enerjisi sistemlerinden biri olan parabolik oluk kollektörlü enerji üretim sisteminin Yemenin üç bölgesi için termodinamik analizi yapılmıştır. İnceleme bölgesi olarak iç savaş nedeniyle enerji sıkıntısı çekmekte olan Yemen seçilmiştir. Yemende devam etmekte olan iç savaş, elektrik üretim ve dağıtım altyapılarına zarar vermiştir. Bu da bölgesel ve sık olmak üzere enerji kesintilerine neden olmaktadır. Yemen hükümetinin kontrolü dışındaki bölgelerde yaşayan nüfus bu kesintilerden dolayı ortaya çıkan temiz su temini, temel sağlık hizmetlerine ulaşım ve sanayi üretiminin azalmasına bağlı olarak artan işsizlik gibi sorunlar ile yüzleşmektedir. Savaş nedeni ile çıkarılan petrol ve doğalgaz miktarlarındaki azalma, enerji dağıtım tesislerinin ve altyapısının zarar görmesi enerji arz talep dengesinin sağlanamamasına neden olmaktadır. Bu analiz ile bölgenin ihtiyacı olan elektrik enerjisinin alternatif enerji kaynakları ile karşılanması adına bir ön inceleme yapılmıştır. Alternatif enerji kaynaklarından güneş enerjisinden elektrik üretiminde yoğunlaştırıcılı güneş enerji sistemlerinin ulusal çapta ve bölgesel tesisleşme ile kurulması bu sıkıntıların önüne geçecektir. Bu sayede enerji güvenliği artırılacak, sürdürülebilirlik sağlanarak enerji sıkıntısı çözülecektir. Ayrıca alternatif enerji projeleri, yeni projeler için ön ayak oluşturarak istihdam ortamı yaratacaktır.
