Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 41Turkish Public Preferences for Energy(Elsevier Science, 2018) Ediger, Volkan S.; Kirkil, Gökhan; Çelebi, Emre; Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Kentmen-Cin, ÇiğdemPublic concern over energy supplies prices sustainability and efficiency has emerged as a major issue around the world. Yet most of what we know regarding public opinion on energy comes from North America and Europe. This paper presents the results from the 2016 Turkish Public Preferences for Energy Survey which included 1204 respondents and examined Turkish residents' household energy consumption energy policy preferences and environmental concerns. The main findings were that Turkish citizens consider natural gas and electricity highly expensive view dependence on imported energy as Turkey's most pressing energy challenge and recognize the problem of climate change. This lends public support for wind and solar power but at the same time energy issues and the environment policies of political parties do not affect voting choices and political preferences.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Introduction: Energy Economics Finance and Geostrategy(Springer International Publishing, 2018) Dorsman, Andre B.; Ediger, Volkan S.; Karan, Mehmet BahaSince countries’ economic independence is based on energy security decisions on energy economy and financing are assessed mainly by geostrategic considerations. Economically optimal decisions are not enough regarding geostrategy. This situation makes it difficult to make decisions in energy markets and it creates considerable controversy. The role of financial markets is to measure the risk of this complex structure or energy projects and price them in financial basis. Understanding behavior of energy markets it is necessary to look at them on an event basis. The limited availability and unequal distribution of energy sources and different pricing and cost mechanism of energy supplies are hardening to arrive a simple solution. Therefore the research articles of this book are aimed to open new perspectives for the reader and researchers. © Springer International Publishing AG part of Springer Nature 2018.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8State capitalism and hydrocarbon security in China and Russia(Elsevier, 2021) Ediger, Volkan S.; Bowlus, John, V; Dursun, Ahmet FarukThis study seeks to investigate how and why state capitalism developed in China and Russia in the oil and gas sectors and explain why two countries that have contrasting energy-security challenges use state capitalism to solve them. It argues that state control over the oil and gas sectors has succeeded in achieving their respective goals, bolstered bilateral hydrocarbon ties between the two countries, buffered each against the geopolitics and financial volatility of oil and gas markets, and offered greater flexibility to shape their respective energy regimes over the last two decades. Still, state capitalism presents geopolitical and commercial challenges as the energy transition away from hydrocarbons advances in the coming decades.Article Forecasting Critical Economic & Political Events Via Electricity Consumption Patterns in the United States of America and Turkey(Springernature, 2025) Ozdes, Celik; Ediger, Volkan S.; Eroglu, DenizImpacts from natural disasters, government decisions and public's reactions can significantly alter societal daily routines. These effects resonate in systems where individual contributions, such as energy consumption, serve as indirect indicators of societal welfare and living standards. Preparedness for unforeseen events is crucial to enhancing societal well-being. Thus, analysing historical data for unexpected critical transitions and forecasting future occurrences is paramount. Recurrence properties of gross monthly electricity consumption in the United States of America and Turkey are examined, revealing coinciding critical periods with extreme regimes identified by a determinism time series. An ensemble of neural network proxies is then employed to forecast critical periods within a limited time frame, enabling the anticipation of similar occurrences. Validation of this approach demonstrates high predictive performance when measured quantities adequately reflect underlying system dynamics. Predictions based on electricity consumption data suggest potential systemic and socioeconomic crises for both nations within one year, with probabilities, 85% for the US and 32% for Turkey.Book Part Resilience in Power Generation: Two Case Studies From Turkey(Springer International Publishing, 2024) Avci, F.; Ediger, V.Ş.There is a growing interest in improving resilience in power systems to extreme climate events because of societies’ high dependence on electrical energy and its vital role in economies. Resilience, which is closely linked with sustainability and the environmental, social, and governance (ESG), is especially important during the power system planning and implementation, and enhancement can accelerate the country’s energy transition. In this chapter, we examined the lignite-fired Çan and hydroelectric Eğlence power plants as two cases in Turkey that can reveal the effects of extreme weather/climate events on electricity generation. This study used hourly air temperature data for Çan thermal power plants and daily precipitation data for Eğlence hydropower plants. The results of the investigation confirm the findings of previous studies: extreme weather/climatic conditions that occur because of global climate change cause considerable losses in electricity generation. Efficiency losses in power generation systems severely undermine Turkey’s energy supply security and economy, especially given the country’s high level of energy-import dependency. It is impossible to design every power plant to resist all possible events at the same time, but the effect of extreme climatic events can be reduced. We strongly recommend that the concept of resilience be immediately taken into consideration in designing new power plant investments and in adapting already existing ones to make them more flexible to any abrupt changes in climate. Resilience should top the energy agenda to enhance supply security and decrease dependence on foreign sources. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Master Thesis Analysis of the Liberalization of the Turkish Natural Gas Market(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2023) UĞUR, ETHEM; Volkan Ediger, ŞevketNatural gas is used as a bridge fuel during the ongoing transition from fossil fuels to renewables because it produces less carbon emissions than oil and coal. In addition, countries, which are aiming to become more carbon neutral, are replacing coal with natural gas. These reasons have led the natural gas industry to grow and the gas business has gained an international dimension. In order to keep up with these developments, countries liberalize their gas markets by opening them to competition. The two important pillars of liberalization are third-party access to the physical infrastructure and the demolition of monopolies in the market. The European Union (EU) has implemented a series of reforms to be able to fully liberalize its internal gas markets. Turkey, the fourth largest gas-consuming country in Europe, has also made a series of reforms in order to harmonize with Europe during the EU accession process since 2001. However, Turkey’s goals to open its internal gas market to competition have only been partially achieved. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of the Turkish natural gas market and to determine to what extent gas market reforms have been successful. The results of a detailed examination of the market and the survey carried out among the major market players have shown that the Turkish natural gas market should be improved in transparency, competitiveness, and cost-based pricing.Master Thesis Renewable Energy in Turkey: a Cleaner, Self- Sufficient Alternative To Coal(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Karagöz, Gözde Nur; Ediger, Volkan S.The world is in the midst of a transformative energy transition, moving to renewable energy sources from fossil fuels. The biggest reasons for this transition are global climate change and resource scarcity, both of which are caused by the use of fossil fuels. Among fossil fuels, coal has the highest emissions and causes more significant damage to people and the environment. Despite its negative effects, coal has a large share of the world's energy mix. However, many countries are moving away from coal and switch to renewable energy sources. Turkey is not one of those countries, as the energy system is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels and coal specifically. Turkey is planning on new coal-fired power plants in addition to existing ones and is generally supporting the coal industry. In addition to the environmental harm to Turkey – and the world – of its coal usage, most of the coal that Turkey burns is imported, thus contributing to the country's trade deficit. In order to limit the negative effects of coal use, Turkey needs to utilize its high renewable energy potential. This study reviews the current situation of coal and renewable energy sources in Turkey. It aims to look at current coal and renewable energy policies and compare them. According to this analysis, it will then offer suggestions for how Turkey can phase out coal and switch to renewable energies.Master Thesis Elektrikli Araç Sektöründeki Ekosistemin Türkiye'deki Dönüşümünü İncelemek: Eletkrikli Araç Benimsenmesinin ve Şarj Altyapısının Karşılaştırmalı Analizi(2024) Sağlık, Süleyman; Ediger, Şevket Volkan; Yardımcı, OkanBu tez, 2010-2023 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin elektrikli araç iş ekosisteminin (EVBE) gelişimini ve dinamiklerini inceleyerek, elektrikli araç (EV) benimsenmesi ve şarj noktası gelişimini diğer ülkelerle kıyaslamalı olarak incelemektedir. Kapsamlı data analizi ile global EV stok adedi ve şarj noktası gelişimi ile Türkiye EV ekosisteminin gelişimini ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin EV stoğu ve şarj noktası gelişimini sayısal trend analizi yöntemiyle inceleyerek eşit aralık kategorizasyonuna göre oluşturduğu kategorilendirmeye göre diğer ülkelerle kıyaslamaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin EV stok adetlerinin her geçen yıl arttığını toplam araç stoğunda payının yükseldiğini ancak öncü ülkelere göre bu gelişimin sınırlı kaldığını göstermektedir. Şarj noktası gelişimi incelendiğinde ise yıldan yıla büyüme gösterdiği, halka açık şarj noktası gelişiminde hızlı şarj noktalarının arttığı ve şarj ağı gelişiminin diğer ülkelere kıyasla daha iyi olduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye'nin 2030 yılı için hedeflediği EV stok adedi ve şarj noktası adetlerine ulaşılması için şarj ağı gelişiminde iyi ilerleme patikasında olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Öte yandan EV stok hedeflerine ulaşabilmek için çok daha agresif bir gelişim göstermesi gerektiği gözlemlenmiştir. Öneriler arasında finansal teşviklerin genişletilmesi, kamu-özel sektör ortaklıklarının güçlendirilmesi ve şarj altyapısının mevcut hızla geliştirilmesine devam edilmesi bulunmaktadır. Bulgular, Türkiye'nin EV pazarını küresel pazarda öncü hale getirmek ve gelecek dönem beklentilerine ulaşabilmek için EV ekosisteminde yapılandırılmış politikaların uygulanmasının gerekli olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu tez, Türkiye'nin EVBE gelişimini diğer ülkelerle karşılaştırmalı olarak anlayabilmek için çeşitlendirilmiş metriklerle analizler sunarak, sürdürülebilir ulaşım konusundaki akademik tartışmalara önemli katkılarda bulunmaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 8The great game in the Levant: energy geopolitics in the Eastern Mediterranean [Levant’ta büyük oyun: Doğu Akdeniz’in enerji jeopolitiği](Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2012) Ediger, Volkan S.; Devlen, Balkan; McDonald, Deniz BingölThis study explores the historical evolution of the Levant region from the trade system to hydrocarbon geopolitics by using a longue duree approach one which evaluates the region's present situation in light of developments in oil and natural gas exploration production and export. The concepts of great power politics and balance of power frame the investigation of permanent and changing dimensions of hydrocarbon geopolitics. The first of the two hypotheses tested and verified in this study is that the geopolitics of the Levant maintains its historical importance for the global hegemon and for the international state system even though the central thrust of the Levant's geopolitics has been tranformed from trade to energy. The second hypothesis is that regional and global peace and stability increase when the geopolitics of the Levant is in the control of a hegemon. Instances of conflict increase and opportunities for cooperation decrease when the Levant's geopolitics slips from the grasp of a single hegemon as a result of shifts in the balance of power. Following a discussion of threats and opportunities for conflict and cooperation in the Levant region possible strategies for the regional actors are evaluated. Lastly the threats and opportunities that Turkey faces are situated within emergent trends in the energy geopolitics of the region.Master Thesis Switching To Decentralized Renewable Energy Systems for a Sustainable Development in Turkey(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2020) Şuşuoğlu, Mehmet Burak; Ediger, Şevket VolkanWe are living today what is called the "energy transition", a term brought by the unsustainability of the world's energy system. Most of the electrical energy that we use today are coming from fossil fuels and centralized power plants which are urging the world for this energy transition. In order to achieve a sustainable energy system, decentralized renewable energy systems have been seen as a solution. These systems provide cleaner,self-sufficient and consumer oriented electricity generation, transmission and distribution. Within these systems, people become a part of the electricity generation process and become prosumers. Hence, the electricity generation switches from big corporations that generate electricity to individuals. Blockchain, in this context, enable peer-to-peer transactions between prosumers and consumers without the involvement of any third parties. These developments encouraged people to become prosumers and engage in electricity generation processes. All of these concepts fasten the energy transition in the world. Such a transition in energy is more important for Turkey as it is suffering from vast fossil-fuel imports and inefficiency in electricity generation. In order to overcome these problems, Turkey could establish decentralized renewable energy systems. However, there are many barriers in the world and in Turkey to the applications of decentralized renewable energy systems. The purpose of this master thesis is to look at the current applications of decentralized renewable energy systems, review the barriers in the world and in Turkey and proposing solutions from global examples
