Enercon-Enerjisa Generation Bandırma Energy Base Co-operation

We are breaking new ground in Türkiye with the co-operation of Enercon at Bandırma Energy Base. We carried out R&D studies and field feasibility studies for the installation of the E-175 EP5 model turbine, which has the largest rotor diametre in the world, ranging up to 175 metres, 6 MW power and expandable capacity.

Hydrogen Valley Developments with the European Union

We are putting into implementation Türkiye's first Hydrogen Valley thanks to the European Union (EU) project with a budget of 36.8 million euros, coordinated by the Southern Marmara Development Agency, involving Enerjisa Üretim and Sabancı University and 16 local and foreign stakeholders. Within the scope of the "South Marmara Hydrogen Coast" Valley Project, we are establishing Türkiye's first green hydrogen facility at our Bandırma Energy Base with a minimum of 500 tonnes of green hydrogen per year.

Meeting Hydrogen Consumption with In-Plant Generation

In 2023, we met 42% of the hydrogen consumption used for the cooling of Bandırma 2 generator, thank to our hydrogen generation electrolyser.

Process Safety

Within the scope of process safety, we conducted a HAZOP study on the hydrogen electrolyser unit with 3rd party companies and took actions to increase safety in line with the reports.

Domestic Electrolyser

Following the approval of the Ministry of Industry for the development of domestic electrolysers within the scope of Guided Project Support, we kick-started our own electrolyser project officially. The first meeting was held at Bandırma Energy Base, hosted by us, and with the participation of TUBITAK MAM (Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council Marmara Research Centre), Eti Maden and GMKA (Southern Marmara Development Agency) respectively. Feasibility studies for green hydrogen and green ammonia generation were completed with international consultancy companies.

Energy Efficiency Studies (Energy Audit)

Due to today's competitive conditions and increasing energy prices, we have initiated studies that will enable any business to use the energy it consumes effectively, update its technology by making timely investments, saving money by minimizing possible losses in its process thanks to the optimization and continuous control of its operating conditions, and increase its energy efficiency. Within the scope of energy efficiency, we investigated the effect of hydrogen purity on the generator output power in Bandırma 2 power plant. As a result of correspondence with the manufacturer and theoretical calculations, we saw that when the purity was increased from 96.5% to 97.5% in the first stage, the generator output power increased by 78 kW. By increasing hydrogen purity within the scope of energy efficiency, we estimate that 1,700,000 TRY will be saved when operating at 70% annual capacity.

Hybrid SPP Works

We have completed the 18.4 MW Bandırma 1 and Bandırma 2 hybrid solar projects approved by the Ministry, which we commissioned back in 2022, and the 11 MW Bandırma 1 3rd stage work, which we energized in 2023.

Türkiye's First Lignite to Renewable Energy Conversion Hub: Tufanbeyli Energy Base

Our Tufanbeyli Energy Base is preparing to write a success story as a global good practice example for the green energy transition. We plan to gradually transform the lignite power plant into a low-emission energy generation facility by 2045, without compromising our energy supply security.

The current integration of our power plant into the electricity grid -enabling us to reach a minimum of 300 MW solar energy installed power over the years with both our completed and ongoing Hybrid Solar Energy projects- reveals the fact that it can play a critical role not only in increasing the speed of renewable energy projects but also pave the way for the integration of such projects.

With our green transformation initiatives that we initiated with solar energy installations, we aim to incorporate various innovative technologies over time. Tufanbeyli has the potential to become a data processing and energy storage centre.

Our project approach adopts a just transition model that will transform not only our energy generation methods but also our social welfare. With this project, which will set an example for the whole world, we aim to take the necessary measures to ensure that the burden of the changes does not fall disproportionately on those who will be most affected, and that this transition is socially fair with planned actions.

We will position our learning centre, the Academy, as a talent development centre that will play a key role in this transformation process, supporting employees' adaptation to the renewable energy sector. Our work offers the potential to lead the industry in expanding talent and knowledge as we accelerate the pace of the renewable energy transition.

All these factors make our energy generation base a prominent and exemplary model within the scope pf global just transition practices.

SENKRON Central Control Room

With Enerjisa Üretim Central Operation Control, Monitoring and Development Operation SENKRON, we organize the remote operation, performance and status monitoring processes of our power plants.

Our Senkron Performance Monitoring and Development team provides 24/7 performance and status monitoring services for a portfolio of approximately 4 GW capacity of internal and external customers in 5 different technologies. The team provides services in real-time monitoring of power plants, investigating alarm situations and preparing monthly evaluation reports.

In 2023, we commissioned Dikili, Çeşme and Akköy WPP in full compliance with SENKRON infrastructure and processes besides starting remote operation and performance monitoring activities. We also monitor our 55 MW capacity hybrid SPP in this context.

We started the joint SCADA project in order to simplify the increasing number of power plants and processes and improve the systems accordingly. In line with the project, we plan to operate the power plants according to the instantaneous target load demands without requiring any operator intervention. We aim to complete the project and put it into operation in 2024 Moreover, we developed digital twins with 126 machine learning models using a total of 409 features for instant performance and status monitoring alarms as well as early detection of faults. The models we have created make predictions at 10-minute intervals and carry out monthly analyses by comparing them with real values.

We have started using Onepact and its AIPact modules -developed by Senkron Energy Digital Services- when providing services to both internal and external power plants, which enables us to manage different technologies in various locations via a single IT platform.

In addition to its technical competencies, Senkron Operation and Control Room also draws attention with its personnel competency programmes. The adaptation journey of our current field employees to digital infrastructures, which we had developed for SENKRON, was discussed in all its aspects during the two-day visit of Harvard Business School Professor Prithwiraj Choudhury and his team. As a result of these reviews, our programme was selected as a “Case Study” by Harvard Business School.

TECHNICAL RISK MANAGEMENT

With Technical Risk Management, we aim to identify and eliminate risks that may harm people and the environment, create legal non-compliance and reduce the availability of power plants, as well as identify and realize opportunities that can create value. In this respect, we evaluate the effects of technical risks and opportunities in the fields of OHS, environment, reputation and finance. Risk identification consists of two main processes, namely internal and external. Internal audit processes are planned and carried out by our functions for methodical and systematic risk detection. In this context, respective hazard detection methods (HAZOP, FMEA, etc.), recommended at international standards in all locations, are implemented by experts with different specialities such as the manufacturer's expert, risk analysis expert, etc. based on the technical need. Externally managed risk detection processes include credit provider reviews, insurance audits, internal audit process and ISO management systems.

We carried out risk assessment studies using Bow-tie analysis for the solar power plants planned to be established in various fields within the scope of the combined electricity generation facility. We classified the developments that may be encountered throughout the process into 38 categories in 12 separate sub-processes. In a workshop where legal issues, project management and technical issues were examined in detail, we put forward a documentation and operational system that may serve as a guidance for the hybrid power plant projects in which we are closely interested.
