Projects

MILRES (Milli Rüzgar Enerjisi Sistemleri) Projesi

Developing Wind Energy Systems: In December 2010, Sabancı University received a new grant from Energy Ministry of Turkey and TUBITAK to develop national wind energy systems. MILRES Project officially started in July 2011 and I started to work in this project at that time. The goal is to design, develop, prototype and test novel turbine systems. I was worked in System Modeling Group.  I built aerodynamic, mechanical, electrical and control models in S4WT (Samcef for Wind Turbines) environment. The basic goal of S4WT is to construct a FEM model of a wind turbine from basic components, to import engineering parameters to the model and then to analyze the model with these parameter values. I integrate Turbsim with S4WT to generate realistic wind profiles. Turbsim is a stochastic, full-field, turbulent-wind simulator.
