Türkiye’deki Jeotermal Enerjinin Birincil Enerji Arzı Yönünden Değerlendirilmesi

The place of energy resources and especially geothermal energy, which is one of the renewable energy sources, is very important in the world. Geothermal energy is a highly preferred renewable energy source in many areas such as electrical energy production, heating cooling systems, chemical material and mineral production due to reasons such as low operating costs, fast activation and not being affected by environmental conditions. The main conditions for the use of geothermal energy are accessibility, having the transformation technology into a product in order to market steam and hot water, and having an effective process in order to compete with others economically in commercial use. Our country is located on an active tectonic belt in terms of its geological and geographical location. Therefore, it has an important potential in terms of geothermal energy and a good position among the world countries. Today, with the growing of population growth and technological development in the world and in Turkey, energy consumption is increasing day by day depending on this. Determining and analyzing this increase or trend over the years has a great importance in future planning. In this study, the primary energy supply of geothermal energy in Turkey between 2009-2018 were evaluated using statistical analysis methods. For this, primary energy supply data by years have been analyzed with statistical analysis methods Mann-Kendall trend analysis and Sen's slope test. When the analysis results and the graphs obtained are analyzed, it is observed that there is a positive trend in primary energy supply and a significant increase in this trend especially in 2013 and afterwards. All the obtained results are shown in detail with graphics and result tables. As a result, it is thought that the primary energy supply of geothermal energy will increase gradually due to population growth and technological advances.
