Abstract

Today the renewable energy is an alternative energy source being more important. The reasons for its importance are minimizing the risks at environmental, economic and social areas caused by the traditional energy sources and reducing the need for energy importation. Because of these it is important to determine the affecting criteria of the renewable energy sources for the investors of this industry as a guide. In modelling and analysis of the criteria and the sub-criteria MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making Model) can be used. In this study, the ANP model is used to propose evaluation of the renewable energy source selection criteria. In this study, an application of the recommended basis for the renewable energy source selection problem criteria and the ANP model for the optimum renewable energy source project is proposed. The expert opinions are employed to gather data in the proposed model. The technical, environmental, economic, and social risk criteria and the importance levels of the sub-criteria are analyzed under the light of the expert opinions. The Hazardous Waste, Effects to Climate Changes, Noise, Reduction in Gas Emission and National Energy Security are found as the superior criteria.
