ABSTRACT

Nowadays, the continuity of all activities related to industrial production is essential for the sustainability of modern life. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to ensure the continuity of energy demand. For an energy supply to be considered as reliable, a fast and reliable response should always be provided to changing demand. Pumped storage systems can meet these needs due to their ability to store energy at times of high demand. Therefore, in recent years, many countries have increased their investments to transform existing hydroelectric power plants into pumping storage hydroelectric power plants (PHS). In this study, a GIS-based model for the transformation of an existing dam into a PHS system has been developed. The aim of this model is to determine the most suitable second reservoir location for the PHS transformation and to calculate the theoretical hydroelectric energy potential. According to the results of the study, the second reservoir location with a volume of 6,5x10⁶ m³ was determined by transforming the Porsuk dam, which was examined as a pilot area, into a PHS. It is calculated that this reservoir can store 0.664 GWh of energy. This study will make an important contribution to the literature by presenting a holistic model approach by determining the most suitable second reservoir location and by calculating the energy potential on the transformation of existing dams into a PHS.

摘要

如今，与工业生产有关的所有活动的连续性对于现代生活的可持续性至关重要。为了实现这一点，有必要确保能量需求的连续性。为了使能源供应可靠，应始终对变化的需求提供快速可靠的响应。抽水式存储系统可以在高需求时存储能量，因此可以满足这些需求。因此，近年来，许多国家增加了投资，将现有的水力发电厂转变为抽水蓄能水力发电厂（PHS）。在这项研究中，已经开发了一种基于GIS的模型，用于将现有大坝转换为PHS系统。该模型的目的是为PHS转换确定最合适的第二个储层位置，并计算理论水电势。根据研究结果，第二个储层位置的体积为6,5x10通过将作为试验区检查的波苏克大坝转变为PHS，可确定⁶ m ³。经计算，该储层可存储0.664 GWh的能量。通过提出一种整体模型方法，确定最合适的第二个水库位置，并计算将现有大坝改造成PHS的能源潜力，这项研究将为文献做出重要贡献。
