Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesindeki Hidroelektrik Santrallerin (HES) Kapasite Faktörlerinin Değerlendirilmesi

There are different Dam Hydroelectric Power Plants in various regions of our country. Eastern Black Sea Region also has significant water potential in Turkey. This potential comes to life thanks to dam projects serving various purposes such as energy production, flood protection, drinking water and irrigation. Especially Dam Hydroelectric Power Plants (HPP) has an important position in the world and even Turkey. The dams that can serve different purposes gain importance in this region especially in terms of energy production. In terms of the energy produced and installed powers, the Eastern Black Sea Region hosts the numbered Dam HEPP projects of our country. The most important effect of these capacities is the high water potential. One of the most important parameters affecting dam energy production is installed power (GG) capacities and average energy produced. With these parameters, capacity factors of Baraj HEPP projects are important for the feasibility of projects. Capacity factor; is the ratio of the total amount of energy produced by the power plant in a certain period of time to the amount of energy it can produce at full capacity. This factor is a value that should be taken into account in the economic, technical and feasibility assessments of the project. With this study, the Dam HEPP projects located in the Eastern Black Sea Region were evaluated geographically. The installed power and energy production values of these projects were obtained, capacity factors were determined and comparisons were made between the projects. Thus, the importance of the capacity factor, which is one of the technical evaluation criteria, was emphasized and the results were discussed.
