“…The latest numbers from Turkey's Ministry of Energy indicate that more than 99 percent of the natural gas used in Turkey is imported with only 0.7 percent of it produced locally [3]. The level of dependency is alarming from an energy security perspective [4] where more than 30 percent of dependency is considered too high in the literature [1]. What makes this picture even more dramatic is the fact that more than half of the natural gas (52 percent) that Turkey buys comes from only one supplier: Russia.…”

Turkey is an energy dependent country with more than 75 percent of its energy being imported from foreign countries. The level of dependency is increasing every year because of the rising energy needs and the lack of national production. Among all forms of energy, increase in demand for electricity is the highest. At a time that some countries are announcing their decision to phase out nuclear power plants (NPPs) in favor of renewable energy sources, Turkey appears to be determined to proceed with its decision to acquire nuclear technology despite safety concerns. A country that has seen domestic opposition towards nuclear energy has already made significant progress towards acquiring one. This article uses a policy analysis framework to assess the value of nuclear energy in Turkey from an energy security perspective. It argues that energy security for Turkey can be dealt with thoroughly when the problem of resource diversification is addressed from a comprehensive perspective. Pros and cons of having NPPs in Turkey will be analyzed through energy security parameters vis-a-vis the urgent need for resource diversification.

“…He stated that the direction of causality in Turkey has been to the current account deficit from the industrial production index and energy import as one-way causality. Besides, Sözen and İskender (2014) have stressed the excessive import dependency on energy and argued that Turkey has to produce proper energy policies to decrease this dependency by using data envelopment analysis. Ylmaz et al (2015) utilized the data set between the years 1984 and 2012 with reference to VAR to determine the correlation between energy consumption and growth in the economy by Johansen co-integrated analysis.…”

“…Among these, Topçuoğlu and Oral (2020) underlined Turkey's dependency on foreign energy and revealed the energy sector as the key sector by Input-Output analysis (hereafter I-O analysis). Besides Sözen, 2009;Demir, 2013;Sözen and İskender, 2014;Yılmaz et al, 2015;Katırcıoğlu et al, 2017 analyzed the imported energy dependency in Turkey using other techniques like the cointegration test, error correction model, data envelopment, vector autoregression analysis (VAR), band artificial neural network (ANN). On the other hand, Günlük - Şenesen and Şenesen 2001;Şenesen and Günlük -Şenesen, 2003;Günlük -Şenesen, 2005;Ersungur and Kızıltan, 2007;Eşiyok, 2008;Yükseler and Türkkan, 2008;Ersungur et al, 2011;Yalçın et al, 2012;Aydoğuş et al, 2015;Aydoğuş et al, 2018 focused on import dependence of the manufacturing industry in Turkey, by I-O analysis.…”

The main goal of this paper is to reveal the extent of the import dependency on electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (EGSA), the basic component of energy, in Turkey. Such that growing industrialization in Turkey has expanded the need for energy since many sectors use energy as input to produce output. However, Turkey’s domestic production fails to meet the energy demand. For this reason, Turkey meets approximately 75 percent of its energy needs through imports, leading to an increase in the current account deficit. Energy imports, approximately 20 percent of total imports, have become the primary component of the current account deficit, exposing the Turkish economy to instabilities in global gas and oil prices and several additional risks. In this context, we analyzed the extent of the dependency on energy by the input-output tables of 2002 and 2012. The results underline that as production increases, energy imports increase, and the economic leakage generated by the rise in demand for energy increases. This creates a significant obstacle to the development of the Turkish economy. Hence, existing policies for domestic energy production need to be strengthened for sustainable development goals and to decrease the high current account deficit in Turkey.

Dünya nüfus yoğunluğundaki artış ve teknolojik gelişmelerdeki ilerlemelerden dolayı enerji ihtiyacının ciddi oranda artması bilim insanlarını farklı enerji üretim araçlarına yönlendirmektedir [4][5][6]. Ancak, enerji üretimini arttırmanın tek yolu bu değildir.…”

Bu nedenle sadece insanların enerji ihtiyacını karşılamak değil bunun yanında çevreyi tehdit eden unsurların da minimum seviyelere indirilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Enerji ihtiyacını karşılamak için araştırmacılar farklı enerji üretim sistemleri üzerinde çalışmalar yapmakta ya da var olan tesislerin kapasitesini arttırmaktadır. Ancak, küresel ısınma ve hava kirliliğinin en önemli sebeplerinden biri olan endüstriyel atık ısı ve baca gazları atmosfere bırakılarak büyük bir enerji israfına sebep olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, kullanılmakta olan tesislerin iyileştirilmesi ve atık ısıların geri kazanımı hayati derecede önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada kombine ısı-güç çevrimindeki orta derece sıcaklıktaki atık ısının geri dönüşümünü sağlamak için yeni bir metot olan Kalina çevrimi tasarlanmıştır. Sonrasında tasarlanmış olan Kalina çevriminin birinci ve ikinci kanun yönünden termodinamik analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, maksimum ekserji yıkımı buharlaştırıcıda görülürken, Kalina çevriminin enerji verimi ve ekserji verimi sırasıyla yaklaşık %12 ve %27 olarak hesaplanmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Kalina çevrimi, ısı-güç kombine sistemi, enerji, ekserji, atık ısı geri kazanımı. ABSTRACTNowadays, when global warming is increasing and air pollution threatens human health in a sensible way, the need for energy i s increasing. Therefore, it is aimed not only to meet the people's energy needs but also to minimize the factors that threaten the environment. To meet the energy needs, researchers are working on different power generation systems or trying to increase the capacity of existing plants. However, industrial waste heat and flue gases, one of the most important reasons of global warming and air pollution, are released to the atmosphere and cause a great waste of energy. Therefore, the improvement of the facilities in use and the recovery of waste heat are of vital importance. In this study, the Kalina cycle, which is a new method for recovering the waste heat has been designed for a medium temperature waste heat source released from a combined heat-power system. Afterwards, the thermodynamic analysis of the designed Kalina cycle was carried out in terms of the first and second law of the thermodynamics. As a result of the study, maximum exergy destruction was observed in evaporator, while energy efficiency and exergy efficiency of Kalina cycle were calculated as 12% and 27%, respectively.
