Investigation on the Applicability of Hybrid Floating Renewable Energy Structure Systems in Coastal Areas

Kıyı Alanlarında Hibrit Yüzer Yenilenebilir Enerji Yapı Sistemlerinin Uygulanabilirliğine Yönelik İrdeleme

Abstract

Renewable energy systems are important technologies that reduce the use of fossil resources and emerged as a solution to the problem of global warming. Today, these technologies are installed both onshore and offshore. This study discussed hybrid floating renewable energy structure systems to meet the energy needs of Türkiye’s coastal areas from renewable energy sources. The policies and legislative aspects regarding offshore installations were analysed. In order to implement floating energy structure systems in Türkiye’s coastal areas, the features of the floating foundation structure, energy systems, and sustainability dimensions were evaluated. The floating energy structure design example proposed in the doctoral thesis “Sustainable Floating Urban Park Model: The Case of Fethiye” was examined. For Türkiye’s sustainable energy future, suggestions have been developed for the application of hybrid floating renewable energy structure systems in coastal areas.
