In recent years, many developments have been implemented by the players of the sector to provide sustainable energy flow in Turkey. One of them is the obligation of recording electricity interruption statistics. The Turkish energy regulatory compels new rules to local electricity distribution companies about recording their interruption statistics, including the reasons for electricity interruption, after 2003. However, all of the local distribution companies do not use the same standard to record these statistics. This situation causes complexities for decision makers and researchers for modeling electricity interruptions. In this study, we aimed to find appropriate longitudinal models for the dataset of electricity interruptions. However, the observed data in this study is discrete count type and most of them are zero. Markov Chain Monte Carlo Generalized Linear Mixed Models (abbreviated MCMCglmm), especially the type of zero-inflated and hurdle could be appropriate for these type of data. Therefore, Poisson, zero-inflated Poisson, and hurdle-Poisson distributed models were implemented to a real electricity interruption count dataset belonging to Çankırı in this study. The models have been implemented by using MCMCglmm package in R. To compare the models, Deviance Information Criteria (DIC) and posterior predictive checks were used. Geweke-Halfwidth and Heiderberger-Welch diagnostic tests were used to detect convergence and stationary status of the models. Despite the excessive vi zero in the dataset, it was observed that Poisson MCMCglmm estimates were better than the models of zero-inflated Poisson and hurdle Poisson MCMCglmm. Furthermore, Poisson MCMCglmm gave better estimation results in shorter computational time as well.

Using Monte Carlo simulation and multi-agent systems to estimate financial feasibility of hepp projects tendered on a bot basis: a case study from Turkey Akçay, Emre Caner; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) As a fast growing country, Turkey’s energy demand has been increasing every year and new investments are needed in the renewable energy sector. Turkish government uses the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model to realize urgent investments in the hydroelectric energy sector. Given the government’s purchase guarantee of the generated electricity, hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) projects can be feasible options for investors. However, during the feasibility studies, risk factors stemming from the macro environm...
Modeling Persistence Characteristics of Primary Energy Consumption from Renewable and Clean Resources: Considering Asymmetries and Structural Breaks Tanrıverdi, Saliha; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem (2022-10-17) This study aims to analyze the persistence characteristics of share of renewables and clean energy (nuclear and renewables) in primary energy consumption for 5 countries, Austria, Brazil, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden over the period 1950-2020. The list of countries is selected based on their high level of primary energy consumption from renewables by 2020. We consider the importance of true specification of the deterministic components to better analyze the persistence properties. Changes in regulato...
Performance analysis of a solar chimney power plant for rural areas in Nigeria Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Taylan, Onur (2017-04-01) Diverse renewable energy technologies are urgently needed, especially for developing countries. This paper aims to create awareness of solar chimney power plants (SCPP) as a viable and sustainable alternative in rural communities with limited or no access to the grid. The study considers site-specific hourly meteorological data in assessing the feasibility of SCPP in seven selected regions in Nigeria. A theoretical model was established for power output, levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and avoided carb...
Europeanisation of the Turkish energy sector Ünal, Serhan; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2013) This thesis analyses Europeanisation process of the Turkish energy sector by comparing and contrasting the current situation of the sector with the European standards and by using the Turkish electricity market as a case study. In order to do this, it first focuses on the meaning of Europeanisation in energy sector and reveals the fundamentals of it by moving from several European energy strategy documents and 15 Turkey progress reports. The three pillars of Europeanisation in the energy sector are identifi...
Performance Analysis of Data Mining Techniques for Improving the Accuracy of Wind Power Forecast Combination Koksoy, Ceyda Er; Ozkan, Mehmet Baris; Küçük, Dilek; Bestil, Abdullah; Sonmez, Sena; Buhan, Serkan; Demirci, Turan; Karagöz, Pınar; Birturk, Aysenur (Springer International Publishing, 2015) Efficient integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid has become one of the challenging problems in recent years. This issue is more critical especially for unstable energy sources such as wind. The focus of this work is the performance analysis of several alternative wind forecast combination models in comparison to the current forecast combination module of the wind power monitoring and forecast system of Turkey, developed within the course of the RITM project. These accuracy improve...
