Abstract:

Earth’s energy production is mainly done using fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels are not unlimited in nature, and they also have a negative impact on ecological natural balance. Renewable energy sources (REN) provide great benefits both ecologically and economically in terms of energy derived from fossil fuels. Countries that realize these achievements are paying greater importance to YEKs in their energy policies. Countries like Turkey, which have beneficial resources for the EEA and are developing, are a candidate for the future of renewable energy. In this regard, assessing the performance of countries such as Turkey will provide useful information for the future. But when doing this assessment, it will be better to deal with Turkey as a whole rather than to deal with regions with different YEK potential. From this point, the purpose of the work with movement is determined as the assessment of the level 1 regions in Turkey according to the performance of the YEK. For this purpose, Level 1 areas have been studied using entropic and CODAS methods integrated. The most important criteria, according to the results obtained by the entropic method, are defined as the solary power installed/totally installed power, wind power installed and solar power installed power criteria respectively. According to the results of the CODAS method, TR5-Western Anadolu, TR3-Ege and TR7-Middle Anadolu regions are ranked in the first three, while TRA-North-Eastern Anadolu, TR1-Istanbul and TR4-Eastern Marmara regions are ranked in the last three.
