Abstract

Renewable Energy production is becoming more important day by day due to a rapid increase for reliable, sufficient, timely, and economic and environmentally energy production. Public awareness about environment has a great impact on choosing the renewable resources for the renewable based electricity production systems. The Commission on Environment of the Turkish Grand National Assembly approved the Kyoto Protocol on Global Warming in June 2008, which makes the importance of renewable energy one step more important for Turkey. When all the potential renewable energy sources of Turkey is considered, hydraulic and wind and solar energies can meet almost 1/3 of the total demand and a very high percentage of the electricity production in the country. However country-wide planning of production and distribution is vital just because the potential of renewable resources diversed among the geographical regions and according to the time of the year in Turkey. The current structure of Turkey's energy policies, latest developments, and renewable energy potentials has analyzed. For planning and distribution scenarios five different regions of Turkey is used for sample data in means of wind, hydro and solar renewable energy potentials. A road map and a fuzzy expert system for a possible planning and distribution road map has been proposed.
