Özet

Keywords: Energy island, offshore wind, levelized cost of electricity (LCOE)

In light of offshore wind expansions in the North and Baltic Seas in Europe, further ideas on using offshore space for renewable-based energy generation have evolved. Taking concrete steps towards a carbon-free society, Turkiye has recently approved 4 Renewable Energy Resource Zones (REZ) three of are in Marmara Sea. These zones will establish offshore energy hub in Marmara Sea. Several aspects related to the inclusion of these “energy island” in the current market setup should be discussed. To this end, this paper presents a first large-scale impact analysis of offshore hub on the whole Marmara Region power system and electricity market. Our study will analyze that energy hub in the Marmara Sea contribute to increase social welfare. To help the development of such projects, we focus on the identification of the two existing islands, calculated LCOEs and impact on grid and green hydrogen production.
