International Conference on Multidisciplinary, Engineering, Science, Education and Technology (IMESET’17 Bitlis), 27-29 October 2017, Bitlis, Turkey9786058248021https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12402/4080Nowadays, there is a rapid increase in demand for energy in Turkey. For this reason, it is very important to use renewable energy sources for potential high, clean and continuous ones. Batman province should make more use of renewable energy sources according to its geographical position. Among these energy sources are sun, wind, biomass, geothermal energy. Although it has a potential above the average of Batman province in terms of solar energy, it is not used at a sufficient level. It has a potential of about 1580 kWh / m2 . Hydraulic energy has a very high power of about 250 MW. It also has a wind energy potential of 7,92 MW. But there is no power plant because the wind cannot provide the necessary conditions for energy. Another source of energy, biomass energy, has 69.618,95 TOE (tons of oil equivalent) / year of energy supply, but no plant exists. A similar situation also applies to the source of geothermal energy. Batman province does not have active geothermal energy facilities. This study investigated the current state of the renewable energy resources in Batman and its more efficient use.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesRenewable EnergySolarWindBiomassGeothermal EnergyConference Object
