Özet

Global energy consumption is increasing every day. However, the reserves of fossil fuels are decreasing and restrictions are increasing due to the environmental problems they cause. The demand for renewable energy sources is increasing significantly around the world. As a completely renewable and sustainable energy source with low operating costs, osmotic energy has gained popularity as a new approach, especially in 10 years. Osmotic energy takes advantage of the free energy released when mixing water flows of different salinities separated by a semi-permeable membrane. Although many countries produce significant amounts of energy from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar etc. it is estimated that osmotic energy technologies can provide more than 10% of the world's current energy demand with its global potential of approximately 1700-2000 TWh/year. Osmotic energy is applied as pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) and reverse electrodialysis (RED) processes. In this study, osmotic energy has been introduced, PRO and RED processes, which are the most used processes in obtaining osmotic energy, have been examined and pilot plants operating around the world have been examined.
