Renewable Energy Perspective for Turkey Using Sustainability Indicators

Energy indicators for sustainable development which were introduced by the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2005 were used in this study to determine a renewable energy perspective for Turkey. The decision making includes social, economic, and environmental factors which affect each other resulting in a multi-criteria decision making problem. The problem is modeled integrating the technique of Analytic Network Process and TOPSIS. Also a sensitivity analysis is performed to monitor the influence of criteria weights on the model results.
