Assessment of Multi-Source Electricity Production Regulation in Türkiye Based on Capacity Constraints and Realizations

Type: article
Abstract: Multi-source electricity production systems, which are inventive energy technologies utilizing the same grid infrastructure and power plant site, enable the integration of multiple resources within a single power plant. They enhance grid stability by promoting more sustainable and flexible electricity production, in addition to reducing system costs. The capacity allocation procedure for these systems is challenging in Türkiye because of the limited allowable capacities. The present study offers a comprehensive examination of the regulation of hybrid electricity production in the Turkish electricity market, with a particular focus on the mechanisms for capacity allocation in relation to a variety of primary and secondary source types. The Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) database was utilized to compile data on licensed projects and realizations. According to the findings, license amendment of 6.4% of the maximum allocable capacity in twelve connection regions was completed. Likewise, 34.7% of the allocable capacity was granted for hybrid systems that have primary sources that are not based on wind or solar, but have an auxiliary source that is based on wind or solar. The Wind+Solar PV hybrid system has the highest capacity allocations.
