As part of the ESE401 – Energy Systems Engineering Design I course, we successfully completed the project presentations for the 2025–2026 academic year.

The presented projects included:

• Development of a Calibration Control Workflow for Vertical Wind LiDARs According to IEC 61400-50-2

• Production of Biochar from Olive Mill Wastewater with Thermoelectric Energy Recovery

• Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect Analysis for IZTECH Campus Climate Resilience

• Design, Development, and Performance Evaluation of a Scaled Hybrid Ventilation System for Residential Buildings

• Development and Performance Evaluation of Supercapacitor Using Biomass-Derived Electrodes

• Feasibility Study and Lab-Scale Evaluation of Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) Potential for IZTECH Campus Drinking Water Supply

• Development of a Data Analysis Algorithm for Long-Range Wind LiDAR Using Coastal Open-Air Laboratory Measurements

• Design and Testing of a Charge Controller for Small Wind Turbines with Simple MPPT Functionality

• Sizing the Thermal Energy Storage Device for Organic Rankine Cycle Power Systems: A Case Study Involving the Seferihisar Geothermal Power Plant

• Indoor Thermal Comfort Assessment and Adaptive Strategy Development Using PMV/PPD, Occupant Surveys, and Simulation in IYTE Educational Buildings

• Performance Mapping and Optimization of a Novel Catalyst for Iron Flow Batteries

• Smart PV Blinds: Adaptive Shading Systems for Power Generation and Building Energy Efficiency

• In-situ Envelope Characterization and Calibrated Energy Modelling of the IYTE ESE Laboratory Building Using Indoor and Outdoor Sensor Data

We congratulate all our students for their dedication and successful presentations.
