This article aims to show that wind energy resource isn׳t efficiently used in Turkey and how the using of wind energy potential is improved is discussed. Some general information for about political structure and the lack of support mechanism of Turkey are given. For that purpose, a comparison between some developed countries and Turkey is included in this article. Turkey is a country which has wind energy potential on land and sea more than many European countries but the value of installed wind power plants is less than these countries. There is no power generation from offshore wind turbines in Turkey whereas it is surrounded on three sides by seas. The 2023 target which is about the renewable energy generation of Turkey is the 30%. Many developed countries identify long-term plans and implement the policies depend on these plans to exploit wind energy potential more efficiently. In this study, literature screening is adopted. According to findings obtained from the comparison between developed countries and Turkey, it is concluded that although Turkey has a higher potential then a lot of developed countries regarding wind energy, expected efficiency cannot be obtained due to the lack of a national renewable energy policy and the fact that wind energy is not promoted by incentives. Energy planning and management are necessary to promote wind energy which has a vital importance for the development and future of Turkey.

Nowadays, the need of energy has been increasing day by day with the population growth and the advancements of technology. In this study, the current state of nuclear, wind and solar energy on the worldwide has been generally investigated. The general assessments have been made based on Turkey's energy potential and the evaluation situation of this potential. The current political structures of countries are generally assessed and under this policy, the last situation and the latest implemented innovations are given. Turkey's energy demand is constantly increasing and Turkey is a country that needs to energy imports. This is a need for new energy sources to meet the growing need for energy. Nuclear, wind and solar energy are the new sources of energy to the fore in our country recently. In this study is given general information on the usage of energy sources of making and some deficiencies were been emphasized by political considerations in this regard.

Solar energy has an important role in achieving the objective of replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions with significant potential. Engineers, architects, and farmers require accurate information about solar radiation in order to develop solar energy systems. It is a common practice for meteorological services around the world to measure the duration of sunshine and air temperature. Despite this, worldwide measurements of solar radiation are extremely rare and some information is lacking. It becomes vitally critical to estimate solar radiation at sites that have not own station. In the literature, a variety of models have been developed to estimate solar radiation. The artificial neural network (ANN) model is commonly used for the estimation of global solar radiation. In this study, a backpropagation algorithm for throughout the year is generated to estimate global solar radiation in Adana by using the meteorological data obtained from Turkish State Meteorological Services. ANN model was developed by using the data for 2014, 2015, and 2016 years with the MATLAB program. The data for 2017 is used for testing the model. A comparison between the developed model and real data is performed depending on the R2 value. As a result of the study, the R2 obtained by training the data was calculated as 0.9019. The R2 value derived from test data was calculated as 0.7277. In light of these results, it can be said that the estimation study was satisfactory.

The dependence on the energy and its use has increased in every country due to the increasing population and advanced technology. As a result of it, the reserves of fossil fuel have decreased, several energy crises have occurred from time to time and the alternative energy sources have been on the focus. One of these alternative energy sources is nuclear energy. The nuclear power plants, which were built in order to get nuclear energy, have attracted the attention thanks to some disadvantages such as its high cost and emission of radiation while they do not radiate harmful gases towards environment. The nuclear power plants that have already been and are planned to be constructed by a number of countries have become problematic because of the power plant accidents. On one hand, some countries have abandoned the nuclear power plants owing to the accidents mentioned above, on the other hand some other countries have continued to operate the nuclear power plants by claiming the necessity to meet the increasing demand on energy. It is seen that conflicts and problems experienced in the geography in which Turkey is located impacts the energy security of Turkey and it is understood that this situation may have a negative influence on national security of Turkey. Because of all these reasons, actualizing nuclear energy projects are important for Turkey which is dependent in respect of energy. ; Funding agency Funding agency Grant number Osmaniye Korkut Ata University OKUBAP-2016-PT3-001
