Evaluating fuel alternatives for electricity generation in Turkey through multiple criteria decision support methodologies

In today's world, with development to the growing electrical energy demand is considered as a important problem. This problem became significant, to capture the new perspective about to installing environmental and environment-friendly clean fuel technology of energy generation systems not only thinking economical criteria. Turkey electric energy demand trend in is an increase 7.5% on average at a rate of speed. According to estimates to meet the increasing electricity demand, the current 42,394 MW installed capacity by 2020 of at least the period should be doubled. However Kyoto agreement was signed in 2009, within the framework need to be limit of carbon emission rates. In this case, the generation of electrical energy that are not only depend economic factors, also environment, sustainability, such as direct and indirect interactions with each other bearing in mind the many factors which need to be evaluated. For this kind of multi-criteria decision problems Analytical Hierarchy (AHP) and Analytical Network Processes (ANP) are good approaches to analysis comes to the fore. In this thesis to evaluate of electricity generation ways models built with the help of AHP and ANP methods. Models and criteria, mined from resources as follows, "Energy and Natural Resources Ministry", "International Energy Agency", "Turkey Electricity Transmission Company? issues and surveys with experts and were obtained by interviews. According to the thesis, models built and results put in place for priorisation of alternatives.
