The Caspian region hydrocarbons are important for international energy security. Producer, consumer and transit countries, albeit for different reasons, try to get a share of these new resources. The opening up of the Region has presented Turkey with a new set of opportunities. In this thesis the positions of all the countries involved are examined. Special attention is given to Turkish policies towards the region. In conclusion the geopolitical environment emerged around the hydrocarbon resources and pipelines is evaluated. It will be seen that this environment puts Turkey in a very favorable position and Turkey is now a player in the international energy game despie the fact that it has almost no hydrocarbon resources.

European Union climate and energy package, known as “20-20-20 objective”, is a highly ambitious agreement among the member countries of the European Union that mainly focuses on greenhouse gas emission, renewable energy and energy efficiency. After tough negotiations between members, the agreement was adopted at the European Council and voted and accepted by the European Parliament on December 2008. According to the agreement, first target is at least 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emission of the European...
A comparative study on energy income estimation: A case study in Turkey
AK, MÜMTAZ; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2014-10-01)
Hydropower is the main domestic energy resource of Turkey. The total gross and the economically feasible hydropower potentials of Turkey are estimated as 433 TWh/yr and 127 TWh/yr, respectively, by the General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works (DSI) of the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs.(1) Approximately 35% of the economically feasible hydropower potential is currently being utilized. The government accelerated the development of the unused potential by enabling the private sector to build and o...

Erkan, Esengül; Senol Balaban, Meltem; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-1-27)
The thesis examines the applications of renewable energy towards community energy as an urban policy in the local governments of Turkey. A comprehensive study was conducted on the energy production and consumption from renewable energy in the world and in Turkey, and the increase in global renewable energy activities in recent years was discussed together with issues such as climate crisis and localization. In the discussions on political, administrative, and financial decentralization and privatization pol...
The Impact of energy storage system on security constrained unit commitment problem in presence of renewables
Çakır, Caner; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In spite of the fact that there is a growing trend for the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to the existing power systems, the intermittency and volatility of these resources should be taken into consideration in the day ahead operational planning for the sake of security and reliability of the electrical energy. Besides, the adverse effects of high penetration of wind energy - the largest global installed RES capacity - to the system operation could be mitigated with the utilization of Energy ...
The role of feed-in tariffs in emission mitigation: Turkish case
Ari, Izzet; Sarı, Ramazan (2015-08-01)
The aim of this paper is to present the role of Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) on GHG emission reduction in Turkey. Due to insufficient installed capacity, Turkey can only utilize 27% of its total economically viable renewable energy potential. To increase the share of the renewables, utilization of these sources has become a top priority in the overall energy agenda. Thus, new regulations and policies are introduced. These policies are expected to serve to increase installed capacities of renewable energy power pl...
