Özet

Energy is an indispensable and evergrowing need in our daily lives. Due to the finite nature of our planet’s resources, the importance of renewable energy sources is increasing in tandem. For example, wind power plants (WPPs) are growingrapidly in use. In this studywehave calculated the relative efficiencies of 22 Turkish WPPs. As these WPPs are of different sizes, an initial cluster analysis was performed using data collected in the 2014-2016 period. For each cluster, data envelopment analysis (DEA) was conducted to calculate the relative efficiencies of the WPPs. DEA-derived weightings were then used to rank WPPs by TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). Finally, DEA and TOPSIS rankings were compared.
