    Economic model for an electric vehicle charging station with vehicle-to-grid functionality
    (Wiley, 2020) Mercan, Muhammed Cihat; Kayalıca, M. Özgür; Kayakutlu, Gülgün; Ercan, Seçil
    Energy consumption is increasing in parallel with the population and technological advancements. Albeit the energy efficiency efforts, industrial consumption, and transportation have quite important roles in this increase. The electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to constitute a positive solution to mitigate energy use in transportation. Increasing penetration of EVs into public transport provides new opportunities both for environmental sustainability and transportation infrastructure. To project the potential operator revenue, we set up a hybrid model (solar and storage), which optimizes scheduling for the EV charging unit and evaluates environmental and economic benefits. Different operational scenarios of PV-assisted charging stations will be simulated and solved with Rule-based decision making. Since regulations have an important role in building the optimization model, scenarios are created considering different European regulations. Uncertainties depending on the traffic jam (arrival-departure times), technological differences of the charging stations are encountered in the model. The results are compared among three different scenarios. Net present value of the system changes for different scenarios and electricity sale price is one of the main factors. This value tends to increase after an annual electricity sale price increase rate of 11%. Novelty statement In this study, the effect of different economic parameters on an electric vehicle charging station were analyzed. A system with electric vehicles, solar panel support, and external battery was mathematically modeled and a case study was done.

    Overall approach to building LCA and recent studies in Türkiye
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Mercan, Muhammed Cihat; Kosma, Elvan Burcu; Karakas, Yusuf; Akyuz, Serra Melek; Gul, Fuat Berke; Goruryilmaz, Mehmet Turan; Unal, Berat Berkan
    Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged as a vital approach for evaluating the environmental impact of building materials, products, energy consumption, and emissions throughout a building's lifespan, providing a comprehensive measure of building sustainability. In recent years, T & uuml;rkiye's building sector has witnessed a substantial increase in the adoption of LCA, aligning with the nation's sustainability endeavours. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of 33 studies published within the last decade, focusing on residential and commercial buildings as well as industrial facilities in T & uuml;rkiye. This study, therefore, fills an important gap by encompassing all common aspects of buildings within its LCA framework. Notably, LCA studies exhibit variability based on factors such as building type, geographical location, impact categories, system boundaries, and the specific LCA methodology employed. T & uuml;rkiye's building sector is embracing LCA as a sustainability tool, despite challenges like lack of data and method standardization. The growing adoption of LCA is poised to contribute to enhanced sustainability practices in T & uuml;rkiye's building industry, shaping a more environmentally conscious future. This research underscores the importance of standardized methodologies to facilitate a more cohesive and comparable analysis across diverse LCA studies.
