We visited Fırat University Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department on June 02, 2023 and made a demo of the advanced functions of DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Thanks to Fadıl Karamazı, Levent Levent, and Sait Aslan from Fırat Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. for the organization, and Department Head Prof. Dr. Mehmet Cebeci, Muhsin Tunay Gençoğlu and faculty members Mahmut Temel Özdemir, Ahmet Orhan, Merve Yıldırım, and all the participants for the warm hospitality.

We conducted advanced DIgSILENT PowerFactory user trainings to Fırat Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. personnel on 31 May – 02 June 2023. Thanks to Fırat Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. for the kind hospitality.

Improving the stability of grids is critical for renewable energy targets. For this purpose in Azerbaijan, we held our first workshop at the Qobu Power Plant with the scope of improvements that can be made in the controllers of the power plant and evaluated our modeling & simulations based solutions from practical perspectives. 

We made a presentation “Integration of Electric Vehicles to the Network and Its Effects” at the “Electric Vehicles and Smart Cities Workshop” held by EMO Ankara Branch and Gazi University on May 31, 2023 at Gazi University Faculty of Technology. We would like to thank to Prof. Dr. Şeref Sağıroğlu, Prof. Dr. Ramazan Bayındır, Prof. Dr. Şevki Demirbaş, Prof. Dr. Erdal Irmak, and the organization team for their invitation.

We are excited to announce that EPRA Energy is qualified by Çalık Enerji for the grid analyses (static & dynamic with DIgSILENT PowerFactory) and CO2 emission saving analysis of Angola.

We performed satisfactorily the parameter tuning of Power System Stabilizers (PSS) of units at ZETES Thermal Power Plant (2790 MW). Optimum settings of the PSS ensure that the units provide positive damping to both local (»1Hz) and interarea (»0,15Hz) oscillations as requested by Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEIAS).

We are excited to announce that EPRA is qualified by Enerjisa Üretim for the grid code compliance analyses of 9 new wind power plants (WPP) in Türkiye.

Our paper “Coal Phase-out in the Turkish Power Sector towards Net-zero Emission Targets: An Integrated Assessment of Energy-Economy-Environment Modeling” is accepted for presentation during the 26th Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis. The study is the first attempt to couple three separate models within a single framework: an electricity market simulation model, a generation planning model and a macroeconomic applied general equilibrium model. The framework is implemented to analyze alternative scenarios aiming at successful phasing-out of coal-fired power plants in Turkey by 2035.

We are excited to announce that EPRA is qualified for the study of “IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE DECARBONIZATION PATHWAY OF TÜRKİYE UNTIL 2050”. The project is coordinated by İstanbul Politikalar Merkezi | Istanbul Policy Center (IPC) under donation European Climate Foundation. Implementation plan will include a timeline and geographical locations for the evolution of the electricity mix within 5-year periods until 2050.
