Özet

The energy sector has links to various local and global issues. Wind energy, a low carbon renewable energy source, exhibits promise in dealing with many crucial issues, such as sustainable development and global warming. While the synergy between many advantages of wind energy and favorable laws makes the wind market bloom, efficient and reliable utilization of a wind system requires investment in the infrastructure beyond power generation facilities. To increase the reliability of the current electrical systems and to make them more capable of dealing with the challenges of wind energy would be possible with the utilization of smart grid systems. The integration of sustainable energy resources with smart grids such that energy becomes bidirectional has many far-reaching advantages in the sector. Therefore, this paper addresses the main topics of wind energy and smart grids and proposes a framework for the implementation of a smart grid in Izmir for wind energy. This application model is an example and can be of interest to researchers from many countries seeking to integrate renewable resources with fossil fuels to meet their future energy needs.
