[vc_section pix_over_visibility=””][vc_row pix_particles_check=””][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The use of renewable energy resources, primarily wind and solar, is expected to grow signifi cantly within Turkey\u2019s power system. There has been tremendous growth in the installed renewable electricity generation capacity in recent years and Turkey saw a record year in 2017. As deployment of renewable electricity generation technologies is on the eve of acceleration, there is a need to better understand how the rising share of wind and solar will aff ect Turkey\u2019s power system.\r\n\r\nThis evidence-based analysis is designed to highlight priority areas and inform energy planners, system operators, decision-makers and key market players on the consequences of higher shares of renewables and what they would mean for transmission investment and integration strategies in Turkey. This study \u2013 the fi rst of its kind for Turkey \u2013 will help inform discussions about Turkey\u2019s transition to a low-carbon electricity system. Being one of the fastest growing economies and in view of the subsequent increase in Turkey\u2019s electricity demand, the analysis provides an important contribution to the energy security debate, proposing strategies on how the current transmission system can integrate higher shares of renewables.\r\n\r\nDue to aff ordable technology costs, the wind and solar (defi ned together as variable renewable energy) are expected to continue. The analysis shows that Turkey can generate 20% of its total electricity from wind and solar by 2026 without negatively impacting transmission system and planning. Doubling the installed wind and solar capacity to 40 gigawatts (GW) is feasible without any additional investment in the transmission system compared to the Base Case scenario defi ned in this analysis. The total investment needed to expand the transmission grid and the additional transformer stations is estimated approximately the same as earmarked by Turkey\u2019s transmission system operator (TSO) T\u00fcrkiye Elektrik \u0130leti\u015fim A.\u015e.\u2019s (TE\u0130A\u015e) Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP). The impact on redispatch and curtailment of electricity is found to be negligible. A wider distribution of solar and wind capacity across the country \u2013 based on demand, substation capacity and speed and irradiation \u2013 produces remarkable benefits for integration.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”large”]
