Özet

© 2022 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.In this study, using a Geographical Information System (GIS) based model method, locations having theoretical hydroelectric energy potential were identified in the Buyuk Menderes basin, one of Turkey's largest basins. According to the installed power potential on the examined basin, 33 sites below 10 MW, 57 sites between 10 and 50 MW, 4 sites between 50 and 100 MW, and 1 site over 100 MW were found as a consequence of the study. While the theoretical hydroelectric energy potential in the whole basin is 886.55 MW at 70% turbine efficiency, the installed power in the basin is currently 302.02 MW. According to these results, only 34.07% of the total hydro potential in the basin is used today.
