Use of solar and the other power sources for hydrogen production, hydrogen for automotive and railroad applications, fuel-cells and use of hydrogen as utility gas and hydrogen safety together with non-energy uses of hydrogen, hydrogen storage, transportation, hydrogen economy and environmental effects of the energy systems are covered in this course.

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of global energy dynamics, focusing on the interplay of energy systems, policies, and technologies, including the history and functioning of energy markets, geopolitical implications, economic impacts, environmental challenges, innovative technologies, Turkey's energy strategies, and the role of international governance in shaping global energy policies.

This course will examine concept of nuclear energy, the models of atomic and nuclear structure, radioactivity and nuclear reactions, interaction of radiation with matter, nuclear processes: fission and fusion, effects of ionizing radiation on biological entities and the techniques for protecting people from radiation.

The world energy demand has continuously increased in recent years due to the increase of world population and living standards. Most of this demand is currently supplied by fossil fuels even though they are quite harmful to the environment, and they are estimated to be depleted in the near future. On the other hand, energy derived from biomass is a clean and sustainable way of energy generation; hence, developing the current bioenergy technology is quite important. In this lecture, the heat and energy contents of biomass, the technology of bioethanol production and purification, production of biodiesel from vegetable oils, algae biofuel and production of gaseous fuels from wastes as well as the new trends of research on bioenergy are some of the subjects that will be covered.

Basic programming concepts with Python programming language; data structures, conditional expressions, arithmetic operations , functions and classes, vector sequences, matrices, lists, dictionaries, file management.

The basic operation and main mechanical equipment of renewable power plants such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, fossil-fuel power plants, and nuclear will be evaluated. Energy storage methods and applications, computer-aided design, simulation and analysis of hydrothermal systems, and thermodynamic analysis of common cycles used in power plants are within the scope of the course.

Definition of the parameters affecting the energy consumption in buildings, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer and psychrometrics, economic decision, indoor and outdoor design conditions, heating and cooling load, energy estimating methods, system selection.

A comprehensive treatment of the analysis and design of control systems is covered. Mathematical Modeling of Dynamic systems are discussed. Automatic control applications in industry. Modeling of thermal and fluid systems are to be explained. MatLab is to be used as a tool to solve and depict of obtained models. Transient and Steady State response analysis are discussed.

The energy sector has grown to provide ever increasing amounts of energy to commercial, industrial and retail consumers around the world. Given its unique sector structure, specialized energy financing and marketing techniques have been developed to expand conventional public and private financing and marketing alternatives. Marketing is an essential tool for the success of energy trading and finance. With this course, in today’s rapidly evolving energy markets; international energy marketing and financing methods will be provided on an in-depth understanding and knowledge.
