Using TRNSYS software, the proposed Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC)-based solar heating system paired with the boiler is modelled. Sensible thermal energy storage (TES) system is integrated into the refinery's process heating to handle the intermittent nature of solar energy.
The situation is expected to get worse in the near future unless the investment on the transmission and distribution infrastructure is made properly. *OCI is the only company in Korea producing polysilicon, and it's total production capacity is 39 700 tonnes including 35 000 tonnes in Malaysia.
Consequently, the network failure rate for delivering electricity to the refinery is pragmatically considered as nil. Notably, the maximum power absorption capacity from the grid stands at 60 MW.
Approximately 56% of Türkiye's electric power generation capacity consist of renewable energy, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass power plants, making Türkiye the fifth-largest generator of renewable energy in Europe and the 11th largest in the world.
As of January 1, 2023, Türkiye had six refineries with a combined processing capacity of over 826,000 b/d. Türkiye Petrol Rafinerileri AŞ (Tüpraş) operates four of the six refineries and accounts for 71% of the total refining capacity, and Ersan Petrol Sanayi AŞ and STAR Rafineri AŞ collectively hold 243,000 b/d of refining capacity.12

Moreover, there have been significant investments in battery technologies, specifically targeting the storage and the effective use of energy from volatile sources such as wind and solar power. Various projects are underway to integrate energy storage systems into smart grid infrastructure.
