The purpose of this study is to identify the most significant problem of renewable energy investments. Firstly, based on the literature evaluation, the problems of the clean energy projects are identified. In this framework, an analysis has been carried out using the analytical hierarchy process method. According to the results of the analysis, it has been determined that performance problems are the most critical issues in this framework. Technological problems also have an essential role in this respect. Location and financial problems have lower weight by comparing with others. Renewable energy companies should take some actions to minimize the performance problem. Renewable energy types are affected by climatic conditions. At some times of the day, less than the energy needed, and at other times more electricity can be produced. This puts energy efficiency at risk. To successfully combat this problem, businesses need to invest in storing excess energy. This will significantly contribute to the improvement of the performance of the projects.

Yenilenebilir Enerji Yatırımlarında Karşılaşılan Sorunların Öncelik Analizi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının en önemli sorununu tespit etmektir. Öncelikle literatür değerlendirmesine dayalı olarak temiz enerji projelerinin sorunları tespit edilmiştir. Bu çerçevede analitik hiyerarşi süreç yöntemi kullanılarak bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre performans sorunlarının bu çerçevede en kritik konular olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Teknolojik sorunlar da bu konuda önemli bir role sahiptir. Lokasyon ve finansal problemler diğerlerine göre daha az ağırlığa sahiptir. Yenilenebilir enerji şirketleri, performans sorununu en aza indirmek için bazı önlemler almalıdır. Yenilenebilir enerji türleri iklim koşullarından etkilenir. Günün bazı saatlerinde ihtiyaç duyulan enerjiden daha az, bazı zamanlarda ise daha fazla elektrik üretilebilir. Bu da enerji verimliliğini riske atıyor. Bu sorunla başarılı bir şekilde mücadele etmek için işletmelerin fazla enerjiyi depolamaya yatırım yapması gerekiyor. Bu, projelerin performansının iyileştirilmesine önemli ölçüde katkıda bulunacaktır.
