Investigation of Electric Vehicle Projection in Turkey in Terms of Power and Energy Management

Abstract

The climate crisis, in other words, global warming, stands before us as a result of the technological needs that we have developed for years and that we use more and more every day to make our lives easier. The Paris Agreement, which was negotiated by 196 countries at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2015 and signed in 2016, includes common measures to be taken to reduce climate change. According to this; Industry-induced air temperature increase is limited to 1.5 °C. In this study; Internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles are examined with examples in terms of performance and energy consumption. A case was determined for each fuel model, analysis was made using the According to TCO analysis; The 5-year ownership cost of the electric Renault Zoe vehicle is 343,656.54 TL, the 5-year ownership cost of the hybrid Fiat 500 vehicle is 408,477.96 TL, and the 5-year ownership cost of the diesel Fiat Egea vehicle is 561,859.64 TL. Although the purchasing cost of electric vehicles is high today, it is seen in the analysis that they are more advantageous in terms of cost in the long run with increasing fossil fuel costs. In addition, as electric vehicles become more widespread and production increases, the initial purchase cost will decrease. When analyzed in terms of energy consumption, it has been calculated that the electric Zoe vehicle provides the least energy consumption with 17.2 kWh/100 km. If we interpret the 20-year projection, when cost advantages are added to environmental advantages, it is seen that electric vehicles will quickly replace fossil fuel vehicles. It is also possible to say that in the next 20 years, in addition to electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, in which H2 can be used as fuel, will take their place in traffic.

Biography

I completed my high school at my hometown Bolu,Turkey. I studied Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Yildiz Technical University and worked at part-time jobs at the same time. While working as an assistant student at YTU Communication Coordination Unit, I experienced managing many different organizations, participating in fairs to promote my university and guiding high school students for university preferences. The work we did in the Wind Energy Club made me realize my interest in renewable energy and cars. I stepped into the automotive industry with Ford Otosan and started from the heart of the business, production. I have learned the production of the car from sheet metal to EOL processes for 4 years. Finally, I started working on the light commercial electric vehicle project as Performance and Fuel Economy Engineer. Also continue to work on fuel cell and H2 combustion topics. My goal is to combine renewable systems and transportation with the aim of zero emissions for a sustainable world.
