Turkey initiated electricity market reforms in 2001, and privatization of distribution companies was one of the main pillars of the electricity market reform. However, many problems have been encountered during the reform process, and both the regulator and the regulated parties are still struggling with major issues such as high loss ratio, financial soundness of the companies, and service quality problems. Moreover, there are concerns about the financial sustainability of these companies due to the recent depreciation of the Turkish Lira. In this respect, this article aims to contribute to the discussions by using panel data analysis to understand the factors affecting the costs of the distribution companies between 2011 and 2014.

A NEW ALGORITHM FOR SCHEDULING CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE OF GAS TURBINES Yilmaz, Yavuz; Kurz, Rainer; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2015-06-19) In developed electricity markets, the deregulation boosted competition among companies participating in the electricity market. Therefore, the enhanced reliability and availability of gas turbine systems is an industry obligation. Not only providing the available power with minimum operation and maintenance costs, but also guaranteeing high efficiency are additional requisites and efficiency loss of the power plants leads to a loss of money for the electricity generation companies. Multivariate Adaptive Reg...
Mathematical modeling and solution approaches for balancing Turkish electricity day ahead market Yörükoğlu, Sinan; Avşar, Zeynep Müge; Kat, Bora; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015) In the Turkish Electricity Market, electricity trade is carried out largely through Bilateral Agreements and the emerging short term imbalances are settled in the Balancing Power Market, particularly the Day Ahead Market. In the Day Ahead Market, the participants submit their bids for each hour of the next day in the form of price-quantity pairs and the Market Operator evaluates those bids using an optimization tool. After the evaluation of the bids, a Market Clearing Price at every hour of the next day and...
The impact of electricity market liberalization in Turkey "Free consumer" and distributional monopoly cases Bahce, Serdal; Taymaz, Erol (Elsevier BV, 2008-07-01) Electricity sector has grown substantially in Turkey since the early 1960s as a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization. The vertically integrated state-owned company had a legally established monopoly on the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Turkey. With the support and encouragement of international organizations like the World Bank, Turkey has initiated a comprehensive program to liberalize and privatize the electricity market in 2001. The liberalization of the electr...
A Cost-Based Approach to Elicit Ancillary Service Tariffs from Unified Capacity and Energy Tariffs Sezer, Hikmet; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Cebeci, Mahmut Erkut; Teimourzadeh, Saeed (2022-01-01) Establishing separated markets for capacity, energy, and ancillary services (AS) is one of the key steps to liberalize electricity sector and realize electricity markets. This study aims at eliciting AS tariffs from unified capacity and energy tariffs through a cost-based approach. In the proposed framework, maintaining annual revenue requirements of the power plants is considered as the main objective while separating the AS tariff from unified tariffs. The conducted study considers two types of unified ta...
Temperature in Turkey and Turkish day ahead electricity market prices : modeling and forecasting Ünlü, Kamil Demirberk; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) One of the key steps of the liberalization of the Turkish electricity market has been the estab- lishment of PMUM (Turkish day ahead electricity market). The aim of this study is to explore the dynamics of electricity prices observed in this market and their relation with temperature observed in Turkey. The electricity price process is studied as a univariate process and the same process is studied along with temperature together as a two-dimensional process. We give a fairly complete model of temperature. ...
