An analysis of centennial wind power targets of Turkey

Wind power has become one of the cost-effective options for improving the energy mix, while the windfarm installations reach higher shares by new capacity additions in Turkey, similar to many other countries, in orderto support the sustainable development targets. Various methodologies are implemented and applied for planning andoptimizing energy systems of countries, taking into consideration the energy, economy, and ecology aspects as a whole.The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the implications of “2023 energy targets” policy in terms of wind power.A futuristic scenario was tailored and applied to a comprehensive energy model for the energy system of Turkey. Theofficial wind energy vision and goal of Turkey were analyzed by applying a scenario based on 20,000 MW wind powercapacity installation by the year 2023. The results indicated that, if applied, this action will increase the share of windpower utilization to the level of 16% in the total renewables while the installed wind capacity will reach 18%. Finally, thetotal cost of this strategic target which doubles the installed capacity and electricity generation by wind power, includingthe respective investment costs and subsidizations results, were calculated as $24.78 billion on the analysis horizon.
