Abstract
Increasing energy demand in the World has led countries to use renewable energy sources as a result of kinetic energy transformations of nature's building blocks such as wind, solar, hydrogen and water. This orientation has also increased technology, creativity, research and development and applicability. With the increasing renewable energy production researches, methods that minimize the harmful effects to the nature continue to be developed. This study is about a location selection problem for Turkish first marine current energy production plant that planned to be established. In order to solve the location problem a multi criteria decision model is proposed with 4 main criteria, 12 criteria and 3 alternatives. The criteria in proposed model are weighted with the SWARA method and the alternatives determined in the model according are ranked by WASPAS method. In Turkey, with made researches applicability of energy production from marine current has expressed many times, but an actual developments on the issue until today has not been made. Therefore, location selection problem for marine current energy plant is the first study to be introduced to the literature with its combined application method. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
