Abstract
Being one of the countries with high solar irradiance levels, Turkey has a significant potential for hydrogen production from solar energy, which can play a crucial role in the country's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of solar energy systems producing hydrogen in Turkey with respect to energy and exergy efficiencies and hydrogen production rates. The systems that use not only solar energy, acquired through solar thermal collectors, photovoltaic, and photovoltaic/thermal panels, but also hybrid systems that integrate solar energy with various other renewable sources are examined. The findings show that the energy and exergy efficiencies of the systems vary within a wide range. The energy efficiency ranges from 3.44 % to 80 % and the exergy efficiency varies between 3.44 % and 93 %. Also, it was found that systems that use only solar energy via concentrating solar collectors and solar-biomass hybrid systems are the most efficient systems with respect to energy and exergy efficiencies and hydrogen production rates. Besides, photovoltaic panels have widespread and well-established use. Hence, these technologies are the most promising for future solar hydrogen production in Turkey.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
