Özet:

 


Energy is an increasing need arising from the existence of mankind.
Electricity is one of the most important secondary energy sources. Obtaining of
electricity from fossil sources leads to negative consequences such as climate
change and environmental pollution. In addition, fossil resources are not endless. For this reason, the
importance of renewable energy sources that are sustainable and not harmful to
the environment such as fossil fuels is increases for electricity generation.
In this study, electricity generation with solar power is considered. There are some
factors to achieve efficiency in the projects of obtaining electric energy with
solar energy. One of the most important of these factors is to choose the right
place. There are multiple criteria that affect the correct location selection. Multiple
criteria decision making methods are suitable for site selection studies where
there are many criteria. In this study, Konya, Karaman, Burdur, Antalya,
Mersin, Van which are fortunate cities in Turkey in terms of sunbathing are
selected as alternatives. A hybrid AHP and TOPSIS method is used to select the
best alternative according to the sub-criteria determined under the economic,
technical, social and geographical main criteria. Criterion weights are found
by the AHP method and alternatives are ranked with the TOPSIS method. The
result of the study is that
Mersin is the best alternative for solar power plant and Mersin is followed by
Karaman, Burdur, Konya, Van and Antalya respectively.
