multiobjectıve optımızation approach for electrıcıty generatıon planning: Case of Turkey

The most appropriate energy policy selection has great importance in terms ofthe countries' sustainable development and environment. Therefore, finding the local, sustainable, environment ally-friendly and economic resources and the optimal distribution of them have become a necessity. In this study, a multi -objective mixed integer linear programming model which reflects the Turkey's realities and necessities and optimizes the objectives of unit cost minimization,CO2 emission minimization, export minimization, fossil resource usage minimization, employment maximization and social acceptance maximization simultaneously is proposed. This model is solved by compromise programming method that is widely accepted in literature by considering all the energy resources used for the electricity generation all over the world,and a 12-years electricity generation plan and an investment plan for thepower plants foreseen to be constructed for the purpose of meeting the total electricity demand expected to occurbetween the years of 2012-2023 in Turkey are obtained.
