Frequently Asked Questions

Wind power is a type of energy that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Wind turbines are the main devices that carry out this process.

The kinetic energy of the wind rotates the blades, thereby generating mechanical energy in the rotors connected to the blades. The mechanical energy produced is then converted into electrical energy through generators. The generated electricity can either be transferred to batteries or supplied directly to the grid without any storage process.

Wind energy is used for electricity generation. Wind farms are established to capture this energy and deliver it to the grid.

Wind energy can vary depending on wind speed, which means continuous and uninterrupted production cannot always be guaranteed. In addition, issues such as aesthetic concerns and impacts on the local ecosystem may arise in some areas.

Wind energy is generally more effective in open areas, coastal regions, and mountainous areas. Regions with high wind speeds are preferred.

The installation cost varies depending on the size of the turbine, local conditions, and the project. However, in the long term, energy savings can be achieved due to low operating costs.

Wind energy production depends on the capacity of the wind turbine, wind speed, capacity factor, and operating hours. The capacity of wind turbines typically ranges from 1 to 10 MW. However, the annual energy output of turbines can vary depending on local wind conditions. For example, the average wind speed and the efficiency of the turbine are important factors that determine yearly energy production.

Yes, many countries have support programs and incentives for wind energy projects. These programs aim to promote investments in renewable energy.

Wind energy is a continuously available resource; however, wind speed and direction can vary. Therefore, while wind turbines operate at a certain capacity, it should be considered that the wind may not be constant. When combined with other energy sources, wind energy provides a more stable energy supply.

Enerjisa Energy Efficiency Projects are carried out as part of the ESCO model. ESCO refers to as “energy service companies”. Enerjisa inspects your plants in terms of energy, offers solutions, designs and implements with ESCO, or, in other words, with Energy Performance Contract (EPC) model. Enerjisa facilitates productivity practices of your company by providing completely or partially financing the investment. Enerjisa guarantees performance of your equipment which is renewed or made efficient with the EPC model. Thus, Enerjisa enables performance guaranteed saving. Enerjisa sets up a repayment model based on estimated saving under Energy Performance Contract Model (EPC) and gets repaid based on the saving achieved during the contract period; therefore, you achieve a cost-free energy efficiency conversion.

Yes. There is a guarantee for parts replaced by Enerjisa or equipment renewed as part of Energy Efficiency Projects. Duration and extent of guarantees vary according to the brand and model of equipment. Equipment such as boilers, chillers, electric motors have a minimum of 2-year guarantee.

Yes. Enerjisa prepares product and brand proposals for Energy Efficiency Projects. However, a different brand can be preferred, and provided that the brands offer the desired quality and performance standards, project can be carried out with the preferred brands and products.

Maximum period for the Enerjisa EPC contracts is 10 years. Following the field study, contract period is exclusively determined for each project.

First of all, you must fill out the information form prepared by Enerjisa. If criteria determined in information form are suitable for the Energy Efficiency Project, an Enerjisa specialist conducts a field study.

Yes. Enerjisa provides maintenance and consultancy services free of charge during the EPC contract period.

You must fill out the information form and provide all required information for Enerjisa teams to begin the study.

Yes. In Energy Efficiency Projects, Enerjisa primarily begins with a preliminary survey at plants and prepares a preliminary survey report. Afterwards, Enerjisa carries out project-based field survey/measurement works.

PGP is referred to as “Productivity Growth Project” and it is the grant support program that the Ministry of Energy provides for businesses. Grant support amount is determined as a maximum of 30% of the project amount. The grant is provided to projects of which the investment amount is maximum 5 million TL, excluding VAT. PGPs, of which the investment amount is specified as maximum 5,000,000 TL in the project, are supported with a maximum of 30%; i.e., maximum 1,500,000 TL as a grant.

Enerjisa provides PGP consultancy service and assist you during the application process through its partner companies. Prerequisite of obtaining PGP support is that your energy consumption must be higher than 500 TOE.

The maximum installed capacity is limited by the contractual power of the customer.

According to the regulation that the CHP is subject to, CHP plant may not be allowed to operate in idlemode in case of Grid outage.

No, there are different operating scenarios in CCHP for summer and winter periods. Full heating can be provided in winter and high cooling and low heating can be provided in summer. It is also possible to provide balanced heating and cooling throughout the year. Enerjisa CHP solutions offer customised design and operating options for the requirements of our customers.

No. Throughout the contract period, Enerjisa provides the necessary qualified personnel support for maintenance and operation.

No. CHP / trigeneration systems work integrated with the existing infrastructure of the enterprise. For this reason, no additional operation is necessary for the customer's existing heating / cooling infrastructure. Except for a short-term installation processes, no energy cuts or modifications are made at the final usage points of the customer.

An energy storage system is a system that can store the energy produced until it is needed and make it available for use when required. This is usually done through batteries; however, alternative technologies such as mechanical or thermal storage also exist.

The excess electricity generated from renewable energy sources is directed to the batteries for charging. In the evening, on cloudy days, or during power outages, this stored energy is released by the system and used for consumption. This process is managed by components such as a Battery Management System (BMS), an Energy Management System (EMS), and a power converter.

Common technologies include lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, flow batteries, thermal storage, and mechanical systems such as pumped hydro and compressed air.

• They provide a continuous energy supply.
• They offer cost savings.
• They contribute to energy independence.
• They help reduce load fluctuations on the grid.

They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including homeowners, commercial businesses, industrial facilities, agricultural irrigation systems, and remote areas (where grid access is weak).

Yes, when designed properly with adequate safety measures (thermal management, protection circuits, fire prevention) and the use of suitable battery technology, it can operate safely.

The duration depends on the system’s capacity (kWh), the battery’s maximum charging power (kW), and the power converter’s capacity. For example, a 10 kW system can fully charge a 20 kWh capacity in about 2 hours.

Yes, it does. If the system has a hybrid power converter or an automatic transfer switch that can switch to backup power mode, the stored energy can be used directly during a power outage.

Yes, it is. Many energy storage systems are designed to integrate with solar panels. Excess energy produced during the day is first directed to storage and then used when needed. In some systems, once the battery is fully charged, the excess energy can be transferred to the grid.

Periodic inspections (safety, software, connections), battery health monitoring, and maintenance of the thermal management system are required.

It varies depending on the type of battery used.
