Analysis of Hereke Asım Kocabıyık Vocational School Energy System and Development of Reference Energy System

Abstract

This research will be the first to analyze the Reference Energy System (RES), energy flows, conversion technologies, and final energy carriers of the existing energy infrastructure of Hereke Asım Kocabıyık Vocational School, affiliated with Kocaeli University. In this study, the academic community will be presented with a RES-based modeling of the energy system, analyzed as a flow diagram encompassing resource technologies, process technologies, demand technologies, and end-user demand.

The RES modeling approach, being used for the first time in this context, employs digital diagrams of end-user technologies, demand technologies, and fundamental parameters. Technical data such as the total electricity consumption, natural gas consumption, and transportation expenditures from the past five years—collected from the administrative and accounting units of the Vocational School—will be shared in the study with comparative graphics.

In future studies, it is planned to simulate the current RES-based energy supply and demand processes in more detail and conduct scenario analyses to evaluate system performance. Furthermore, the research aims to develop planning strategies through various integration scenarios, including renewable energy sources, energy efficiency measures, and system optimization approaches.
