Özet:

Renewable energy sources play an essential role in sustainable development. The share of renewable energy-based energy generation is rapidly increasing all over the world. Turkey has a great potential in terms of both solar and wind energy due to its geographical location. The desired level has not yet been reached in using this potential. Nevertheless, with the increase in installed power in recent years, electricity generation from solar energy has gained momentum. In this study, data on cumulative installed solar power in Turkey in the 2009-2019 period were used. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) methods were selected to predict the cumulative installed solar power for 2020 with these data. The cumulative installed power was predicted, and the results were compared and interpreted.
