The rise of population volume not only affects the current non-renewable energy sources but also renewable sources. Wind is one of the cleanest source of renewable energy. The design decision encompasses complex and conflicting parameters so that an analytical solution methodology for the problem consideration is necessary. In this study, considering the complex character of wind farm location selection problem, a two-phase fuzzy goal programming approach is applied. The aim of the model is to determine the appropriate locations of wind farms by considering the maximization of technical, social and economic objectives. The process of proper location determination consists of three main stages. The first stage is the determination of potential 30 districts from the Marmara Region and data collection. The second stage is the establishment and application of a single objective form of the model (social, technical and economic objective) separately. The third stage is the implementation of a multi-objective form with two-phase fuzzy goal programming approach. The proposed model is applied to the Marmara Region of Turkey. The most suitable alternatives have been selected out of 30 candidate districts. The inclusion of fuzzy logic within multi-objective approach provides proper evaluation of objectives’ satisfaction values. The results of the applied models identify Bozüyük, Taraklı, and Malkara districts as suitable locations for wind farms, based on the fulfillment of objective functions related to technical, social, and economic factors. The findings point out that on average 25% of total electricity demand can be met by installing the determined wind farms in selected locations.

Nüfus hacminin artması, yenilenemeyen kaynaklardan ziyade yenilenebilir kaynakları da etkilemektedir. Rüzgâr enerjisi, en temiz yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından biridir. Rüzgâr enerjisinin kullanımı ile ilgili tasarım kararları karmaşık ve birbiri ile çelişen parametrelerin varlığı sebebiyle analitik bir çözüm yaklaşımını gerektiren bir problemdir. Bu çalışmada, rüzgâr tarlası seçim probleminin karmaşık yapısı göz önüne alınarak, iki aşamalı hedef programlama yaklaşımı uygulanmıştır. Oluşturulan modelin amacı, rüzgâr tarlaları için, teknik, sosyal ve ekonomik amaçlarının en iyilenmesini göz önüne alarak, uygun lokasyon seçimidir. Uygun yer seçiminin tanımlanması üç ana aşamadan oluşmaktadır. İlk aşama, Marmara Bölgesinde yer alan 30 ilçenin incelenmesidir. İkinci aşama Önerilen modelin her bir amaç fonksiyonu (sosyal, teknik ve ekonomik) ile ayrı ayrı çözülmesidir. Son aşama ise modelin çok amaç fonksiyonlu versiyonunun, iki aşamalı hedef programlama yaklaşımı ile uygulanmasıdır. Önerilen model, Türkiye’de yer alan Marmara Bölgesinde uygulanmıştır. 30 aday ilçe içinden en uygun alternatifler seçilmiştir. Çok- amaç fonksiyonlu yaklaşıma, bulanık mantığın eklenmesi ile amaçların tatmin seviyeleri uygun bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi sağlanmıştır.
