Bu çalışmada, Bursa ilinin biyogaz potansiyelini tespit etmek üzere bir alan çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla, Bursa ili sınırları içerinde Karacabey ilçesi başta olmak üzere yapılan literatür ve anket çalışmalarının yanı sıra Tarım İl Müdürlüğü ve Büyükşehir Belediyesi verilerine göre kent sınırları içerisinde toplanabilen organik atıklar gruplandırılarak kapasiteleri tespit edilmiştir. Yine bu kapasitelere göre değerlendirilebilecek organik madde ve elde edilebilecek metan miktarları hesaplanmıştır. Uygulama aşamasında ise henüz ülkemizde araç yakıtı olarak yaygın kullanılamayan doğalgazın, kullanılabilirliğine yönelik olarak biyogazın bir dizel motorda yakıt olarak kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Bursa ili hayvansal ve tarımsal kaynaklı organik atıklar açısında yüksek bir potansiyele sahiptir. Hâlihazırda bölgede kurulu hayvansal atıkların ve yeterince değerlendirilemeyen tarıma dayalı endüstri atıklarının değerlendirildiği iki ayrı tesiste 2-4 MWh’lık elektrik ya da benzer kapasitelerde ısı üretilebilmektedir. Ayrıca Bursa Büyükşehir Belediyesi de kentsel organik atıkları değerlendirerek biyogaz üretmektedir.

(IEEE, 2016) Kul, Basri; Ulusoy, Yahya; Arslan, Rıdvan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu/Elektronik Bölümü.; 0000-0002-0111-6879; FFM-7071-2022; AAG-6056-2021; V-1754-2018; 24338263900; 6508189419; 13609418000
With the numerous and complex parameter interactions that take place during the operation of an engine, the optimization of its performance in terms of alternative fuels is difficult, as dynamometers with conventional technology are unable to make significant measurements for alternative fuels. In this study, an electronically controlled dynamometer system capable of measuring a number of specific values was developed. The system allows the optimum values for different fuels to be found for the test engine by monitoring parameters such as injection advance, and at the same time communicating with the electronic control unit via a computer interface. The study presents the algorithm and test results of the system.

Temperature adjustment was used to buffer against changes in external environmental temperature by a heating device. Two groups of honey bee colonies Apis mellifera anatoliaca were used: one as experimental (20) and the other control (10), which were equalized in terms of the number of brood frames, frames with bees, food, hive materials, and health treatments. The experimental colonies were heated during the cold season, and the temperature and humidity inside the hive were recorded. The number of frames of brood, frames of bees, and Varroa destructor mite numbers were also determined for all hives. Results suggest that the number of brood frames and frames with bees increased significantly in the hives with the heating treatment. However, varroa mite numbers also increased significantly in the heated colonies in comparison to the control colonies. Colony losses were significantly less (15%) in heated colonies compared to a 40% loss in control colonies. This is the first account demonstrating that using simple heating devices can support weak colonies during the cold season in general, and colony losses can be reduced significantly from this heating treatment in cold seasons.

(IEEE, 2017) Kul, Basri; Şen, Mehmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu/Elektronik Bölümü.; 0000-0002-6313-516X; AAK-7246-2021; 24338263900; 54387501600
A load limiter is particularly needed in places like microgrid business centers because the load limit that the microgrid structure can handle must not be exceeded. This study aimed at keeping load variation under control by planning daytime load distribution using IoT-based energy measurement and central management software. By using IP-based smart meters and control methods to perform energy measurements, all loads on the microgrid can be loaded in a balanced manner from the centralized software. Moreover, load balance across the grid can be protected by shutting off the relevant overcurrent devices. By setting the load limits for certain zones at specific times of the day, both the electrical devices and the microgrid are safeguarded. In heating and cooling applications, when all components on the grid are overloading the microgrid, other electrical appliances are prevented from exceeding the permitted current limits. Thus, installation of the system results in energy saving and reduced costs. Details are shown in this study.

(IEEE, 2017) Kul, Basri; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Meslek Yüksekokulu/Elektronik Bölümü, Teknik Bilimler.; 24338263900
Today, HVAC systems are responsible for 15 to 60% of the total energy consumption of a building, depending on its intended use. Effective and efficient utilization of energy and the reduction of energy losses are of particular importance in this regard. In recent years, studies examining the HVAC system parameters for reducing energy consumption have revealed the need for higher performance regarding the temperature, capacity and control strategies in the resulting systems. In this study, a system was developed with IP-based smart sensors for improving the energy efficiency of the HVAC systems used in a building by determining the characteristics of the building and measuring its thermal losses. With this system, the detection of heat loss besides that of user-induced faults, as well as the reduction of these losses can be achieved. It is to this aim that the designed IP electronic system provides for access to offices via the Internet, while output data are provided through the features operating to reduce energy loss,

(IEEE, 2017) Şen, Mehmet; Kul, Basri; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu/Elektrik-Elektronik Bölümü.; 0000-0002-6313-516X; AAK-7246-2021; 54387501600; 24338263900
In this study, a factory induction motor (IM) was monitored with wireless TCP/IP protocol in order to detect and predict deviations from normal operating parameters before the occurrence of motor failure. In this way, the production process is not impeded and the required maintenance or replacement can be performed with the least possible disruption. In this study, the motor cycle, the current drawn by the motor and the motor voltage were read by the Hall-effect current sensor and the required power consumption was calculated. With this aim, the designed architecture read the accepted parameters of the motor and reported them to the central management software. The central management software operating in real time was then able to assemble these parameters and form predictive maintenance models.

(IEEE, 2017) Kul, Basri; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksek Okulu/Elektronik ve Otomasyon/Elektronik Teknolojisi.; FFM-7071-2022
Today, population density shifts towards urban centers have resulted in the constant rise of energy consumption in cities. Due to the cost and technical restrictions of strengthening the infrastructure at the same rate, alternative energy sources must be sought in order to meet these increased energy demands. This study presents a street lighting system which consumes minimum energy from the city network by using solar energy to charge the battery during the day. This intelligent charging system will increase battery life and store solar energy. During the night, the battery is used for illumination until it is depleted, and only then is the energy from the city network used. Moreover, with the development of TCP/IP communication with centralized software on the cloud via GSM, the high-efficiency LED lighting is managed and monitored according to the level of daylight and the volume of traffic detected. Thus, with this system, a lead-free environment, lower CO2 emissions and energy savings can be achieved.

(MDPI, 2008-05) Tekin, Yücel; Kul, Basri; Okursoy, Rasim; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu/Makine ve Metal Teknolojileri Bölümü.; J-3560-2012; 15064756600; 24338263900; 6506218306
Soil compaction is an important physical limiting factor for the root growth and plant emergence and is one of the major causes for reduced crop yield worldwide. The objective of this study was to generate 2D/3D soil compaction maps for different depth layers of the soil. To do so, a soil penetrometer was designed, which was mounted on the three-point hitch of an agricultural tractor, consisting of a mechanical system, data acquisition system (DAS), and 2D/3D imaging and analysis software. The system was successfully tested in field conditions, measuring soil penetration resistances as a function of depth from 0 to 40 cm at 1 cm intervals. The software allows user to either tabulate the measured quantities or generate maps as soon as data collection has been terminated. The system may also incorporate GPS data to create geo-referenced soil maps. The software enables the user to graph penetration resistances at a specified coordinate. Alternately, soil compaction maps could be generated using data collected from multiple coordinates. The data could be automatically stratified to determine soil compaction distribution at different layers of 5, 10,...., 40 cm depths. It was concluded that the system tested in this study could be used to assess the soil compaction at topsoil and the randomly distributed hardpan formations just below the common tillage depths, enabling visualization of spatial variability through the imaging software.
