Abstract

This paper aims to provide a scientific approach that indicates the need to focus on renewable energy potential to meet energy needs in Turkey. Turkey began to take advantage of renewable energy technologies a few years ago. Accordingly, the issue of determining the best renewable resources for the country has been brought to the agenda in recent years. The issue was considered to be a limited multi-objective optimization problem allowing us to achieve a reliable result. However, the parameter of each resource was considered as a range value, rather than traditionally expressed as an exact value, and a multi-objective decision problem was developed with an interval coefficient. This method allows us to obtain more accurate and reliable results without the need to resort to normalization methods used to eliminate unit differences. According to the results of this study, the most convenient alternatives for Turkey are hydro, wind, and solar power. The findings also support decision policies aimed at reaching targets for the electricity sector in 2023, as put forth by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR).
