Özet:

 

In this study, the energy demand of a house in Gebze,  Turkey, is met by using wind energy as a primary energy source  combined with rechargeable batteries.  The wind-battery system is  simulated by MATLAB while considering that energy continuity is  maintained by using a sufficient number of batteries.  A life-cycle  cost analysis is carried out over a 20-year system lifetime because  the operating time of the hybrid system is subject to the turbine  life, usually assumed to be 20 years.  The wind turbine generators  considered are of various nominal powers, ranging from 0.6 to 450 kW.  For each wind turbine, the necessary number of batteries to  continuously supply the house with energy is calculated and an  economic analysis of each system is performed.  According to the  simulation results, among the wind turbines considered in this study,  Proven 2.5 (with a nominal power of 2.5 kW) appears to be the most  economical turbine and produces electricity at a cost of  US{\}0.82/kWh, while the optimum battery number for the Proven 2.5  wind turbine is 44.  The total system cost obtained is {\}17,438.
