Abstract
Countries are developing green transition policies to reduce their dependency on conventional resources and to eliminate environmental concerns while meeting increasing energy demand. Renewable energy, thus, has a crucial effect on accomplishing these policies. To ensure a rapid spread of renewable energy and develop resilient renewable energy policies concerning the evaluation of renewable energy resources, socio-political factors should be considered. However, evaluating renewable energy technologies regarding the socio-political aspect is clearly more difficult and uncertain than a study focused only on quantifiable objectives, but it is critical since real projects are affected by such aspects. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques are best for addressing such issues with conflicting objectives. In this study, an integrated AHP-TOPSIS method with Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) was used to create the socio-political index for evaluating renewable energy hybrid technologies and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) in Turkey. The results showed that while solar energy has the highest socio-political index, Run of River with BESSs alternative ranks as the lowest.
