Energy is the most important part of life, it is essential for social and economic development. Turkey is importing more than half of the energy from other countries to produce electricity by thermal plants. Air pollution is also becoming quite a big problem for Turkey due to the thermal production of the energy. One of the most effective solution for air pollution is renewable energy because nowadays renewable energy is environment friendly. Turkey has many geographical location advantages one of them is renewable energy resources. Turkey has limited fossil fuel resources and due to this reason Turkey must shift more electricity production to the renewable energy resources. Renewable energy has less environment impacts as compare to the fossil fuels but still renewable energy sources are not reliable and competitive as compare to the fossil fuels. The present study deals with the advantages of Hybrid renewable energy systems (Solar and Wind energy) in Turkey. Map of Turkey with high resources of solar-wind hybrid energy is also presented in this paper. Integration of Wind and solar energy into the Turkish energy will be one of the main tools in responding to the growing electricity demand because it will decrease the dependence of energy on single method. In addition, non-renewable energy is also compared with the renewable energy sources on the economical basis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
