This paper studies whether Turkey can meet its growing electricity demand by relying more on renewables, instead of increasing the use of its local coal resources. Our quantitative analysis proceeds in two stages. In the first stage, we provide projections for the future electricity demand of Turkey through 2040 by using a dynamic balanced panel data model of 41 countries. In the second stage, we develop linear programming models to study realistic and reasonable scenarios representing three probable future pathways to meet the econometrically estimated electricity demand. The scenarios we run in this study are business-as-usual (BAU), minimize GHGs (minGHG), and maximize local resources (MaxLocal) simulations. A nuclear power program is included in BAU while the latter scenarios omit the possible completion of the nuclear power plant in the next ten to twelve years. The scenarios are compared in terms of investment requirements. The model results of minGHG and MaxLocal both show that the share of renewable generation should reach around two thirds of total generation to satisfy the projected demand by 2040. Moreover, annual investment requirement under minGHG is cheaper than of BAU, which corresponds to a 21-year cumulative difference of around 4 billion in current US dollars. Therefore, a secure low-carbon pathway with a lower investment requirement is possible for Turkey without nuclear power or new coal plants, while also retiring most of the existing coal plants.

A techno-economic feasibility study of a gridconnected hybrid solar pv-wind power generation system in Zimbabwe Samu, Remember; Fahrioğlu, Murat; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-1) The depletion of fossil fuel resources on a worldwide basis and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and climate change as a whole have caused an urgent search for alternative sustainable energy sources to cater for the rising energy demands. The demand of energy is rapidly growing in both developing and developed nations thus making hybrid renewable energy power systems (RES), comprising Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy to be chosen as one of the best alternatives. However, on the downside, these...
The feasibility study for an enhanced geothermal system application in Dikili-İzmir region Turan, Ayşegül; Artun, Emre; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-9) For Turkey, one sustainable way to increase the clean energy share in the power generation can be the utilization of geothermal resources as they are abundant, reliable, domestic and able to provide base load. This study aims to investigate the untapped potential of hot dry rock systems to generate power. Dikili-İzmir geothermal field is selected as a case study with four different production scenarios. Accessible resource base and recoverable heat energy are calculated by employing a probabilistic approach...
Understanding the synergy between N-doped ultra-microporous carbonaceous adsorbent and nitrogen functionalities for high performance of CO2 sorption Ahmed, Rafay; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Rehman, Abdul; Munir, Mehr Ahmed Mujtaba; Irshad, Samina; Rashid, Muhammad Saqib; Cheema, Ayesha Imtiyaz (2021-02-01) Porous carbonaceous adsorbents are believed to encourage contenders to CO2 uptake however their high production cost has urged researchers towards cheap renewable. In this study, nitrogen-doped carbonaceous adsorbents with high ultra-microporous structure were synthesized by carbonization and activation of chitosan along with urea and KOH simultaneously at various temperatures (600-900 degrees C). The effects of temperature, urea modification, and chemical activation on nitrogen functionalities and developm...
The merit order effect of wind and river type hydroelectricity generation on Turkish electricity prices Acar, Berkan; Selcuk, Orhun; Dastan, Seyit Ali (Elsevier BV, 2019-09-01) The environmental concerns and dependency on gas imports push Turkish policy makers to find ways of increasing the share of renewable sources in electricity generation. Providing incentives for renewable energy in the form of feed-in-tariffs is one of the measures to achieve this goal. Basing on the data of Turkish electricity market operator, we quantified the magnitude of the price effects of wind and river type hydro generations on hourly average of day-ahead prices. We find that wind and river type hydr...
Optimization of process parameters in oxygen enriched combustion of biocoal and soma lignite blends by response surface methodology Keivani, Babak; OLGUN, HAYATİ; Atımtay, Aysel (2022-01-01) Co-combustion of coal and biomass in power plants has the potential to reduce emissions compared to burning coal alone. However, the use of biomass with coal in power plants has its own limitations. For this reason, biomass and coal are not often used together in power plants. Torrefaction is a method that can be used to eliminate / reduce all these negative effects. Torrefied biomass (biocoal) prepared under 300 degrees C and 30 min has similar properties to selected Turkish lignite. Existing power plants ...
