Özet:

 


Humankind has been looking for alternative energy
supply options. This search has always been a big challenge. Renewable energy sources
blossom the most possibly nature-harmonized options with no harmful propagation
or emissions. Turkey, as a developing country and a highly experienced
candidate to European Union membership, determines relevant energy policies by
assessing domestic energy potentials. However, no official target for energy
utilization from the seas is officially set so far. Wave energy can be one of
the alternatives that can contribute to the energy mix of Turkey. This
contribution would also positively affect the fossil fuel import rates of the
country while the wave energy conversion technologies mature and penetrate the
energy markets. With this in mind, wave energy potentials have been calculated
for two locations, Riva and Foça; based on the data measured and obtained from
the Office of Navigation, Hydrography and Oceanography of Turkish Navy.
Comparatively low wave energy level results are obtained, mainly caused by the
measurement sites are not on the shores of open sea or oceans, but inner seas.
These results would hopefully help the respective engineers to reach the most
suitable designs for these wave characteristics.
