1 Seminar objectives
GIZ Turkey is working on the project “Promotion of On-Grid Renewable Energies in Turkey”. The
project aims to help build the capacity of Turkish institutions to utilize German and international
experience in the renewable energy sector and to implement targets on a sustainable basis.
As part of this project, GIZ commissioned RENAC to conduct a 3-day seminar on “Wind Power and
Photovoltaic Integration into Power Systems” from 9 to 11 November 2015. The main objective of
the seminar was to train experts from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, from
transmission and distribution grid operators. The training focused on the management aspects of grid
integration of wind and photovoltaic (PV) power (2 days, lectures and exercises) and on how to
develop a roadmap for grid integration (1-day interactive workshop on scope of a Turkish long-term
grid integration study for wind and PV).
RENAC conducted the seminar in Ankara for managers and decision-makers from the Turkish
Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, as well as experts from the operators of the Turkish
transmission and distribution grid.
The seminar language was English with simultaneous translation into Turkish. Seminar material
provided by RENAC was in English. GIZ-Turkey translated the material into Turkish and distributed
the material to the seminar participants. 21 persons attended the seminar.
Mr. Albrecht Tiedemann was the seminar lecturer. He has been Project Director at the Renewables
Academy (RENAC) AG since 2009. He is responsible inter alia for trainings on grid integration of
renewables (balancing power and capacity credit calculations, short-term power forecasting for wind
and solar). From 2003 to 2009, Mr. Tiedemann was Project Director at the German Energy Agency
(dena) GmbH and he was executively involved in the integration of renewable energies into the
German energy supply (dena Grid Study I and II).
Learning objectives of the seminar were:
Learn about the fundamentals of grid-connected wind power and photovoltaics (technology,
feed-in characteristics, grid-connection, active and reactive power provision, fault ride
through)
Understand the impacts of grid-connected wind power and grid-connected photovoltaics on
power system flexibility (residual load approach and flexibility options)
Be able to understand and generate wind and PV feed-in time series for a Turkish grid study
Learn about probabilistic balancing power calculation methodologies for wind and
photovoltaics, short-term wind and photovoltaic power forecasting and forecasting errors, as
well as a probabilistic generation adequacy methodologies for wind and photovoltaics (firm
capacity for generation expansion planning)
Discuss the basic aspects a Turkish long-term grid integration study for wind and
photovoltaics (roadmap).

4 Seminar results / conclusions
4.1 Generals aspects and outcome of workshop on “Turkish long-term grid-integration study for
wind and photovoltaics”
RENAC began the workshop by providing comprehensive information on the development of wind
energy and photovoltaics in Germany, grid-connection agreement procedures in Germany and on
details of the grid studies conducted by the German Energy Agency (dena). Finally, RENAC explained
the questions to be addressed by the two working groups.
The following table lists the names of the working group participants:
Working Group 1
Ali Osman, YILMAZ, Oytum ALICI, Hilal ARSLAN, Sonnur BAYAZITOGLU, Umit Yasar DOLU, Osman KURTUL and Zafer MERTOGLU
Working Group 2
Mustafa ERKEC, Gökhan ATABEY, Murat AKCIN, Alper GUZELER, Muhammed Necip ERIM, Cem SALMA and Can KECELI
Table 8: Working group participants
Each working group discussed the questions for about 3.5 hours and then delivered their opinions in
a 15-minute oral presentation. The following is a summary of the questions and the opinions of the
working groups. (For editorial reasons, RENAC has summarized and/or resorted the order of working
group results and also added statements given in the oral presentations.).
4.2 Conclusions of studying scenarios for a Turkish grid study
4.2.1 Reference and target years
Question:
What could be the reference year and the target years for the Turkish grid study scenario
(e.g. reference year 2014, target years 2023 and 2033)?
Opinion of Working Groups 1 and 2:
2014 should be the reference year
2023 should be the target year.
4.2.2 Wind energy and photovoltaics development in Turkey
Question:
Is detailed information for the following topics already available (who did the study, is
the data available?): CURRENT MARKET ASSESSMENT WITH REGARD TO PERSPECTIVES
FOR WIND POWER EXPANSION IN TURKEY and EXISTING SCENARIOS REGARDING
DEVELOPMENT IN TURKEY for WIND POWER and PHOTOVOLTAIC? If not, specify tasks
for a consortium of scientists.
Opinion of Working Groups 1 and 2:
According to the Strategy Paper of Security Supply 2009, the share of renewables in
energy mix should reach at least 30%.
20,000 MW wind power and 6,000 MW solar capacity are targeted for the 2023.
Further information is available at the regulator’s website (EMRA)
GIZ Turkey

For concentrating solar power (CSP), wind power and photovoltaics, the regional
resource zones should be examined to identify the potential productivity of individual
zones.
4.2.3 Raster for feed-in time series
Question:
How should a raster be created for Turkey in order to develop feed-in time series (fixed
raster 50 km by 50 km, raster according to grid nodes of the transmission grid, or raster
according to other criteria)? What should be the time steps of the feed-in time series (1
hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes)?
Opinion of Working Group 1:
A raster for Turkey should take the grid nodes of the transmission grid into account.
Fixed quadratic raster km by km does not make sense because the power feed-in to the
transmission grid is of most interest and grid nodes are not equally distributed around
the country.
1-hour feed-in time steps should be used.
Opinion of Working Group 2:
Nevertheless, over time, a 50km by 50km raster may be considered in connection with
an increased use of PV and wind power.
The focus should be on connection points to current transmission network because of
non-uniform distribution of energy generation and consumption in the country.
4.2.4 Time series for raster points
Question:
Is detailed information for the following topics already available (who did the study or
has data available?): for GENERATION OF TIME SERIES FOR THE FEED-IN OF ELECTRICITY
FOR THE REFERENCE AND THE TARGET YEAR FOR RASTER POINTS OF TURKEY (WIND
POWER and PHOTOVOLTAIC)? If not, specify tasks for a consortium of scientists.
Opinion of Working Group 1:
The information on hourly generation data for the renewables could be gathered from
transmission and / or distribution grid operators’ databases.
Opinion of Working Group 2:
Currently, 1-hour feed-in time series are available.
However, switching to 15-minutes time series is considered to be technically and
economically desirable.
4.3 Grid analysis
Question:
GIZ Turkey
Dokument: GIZ-Turkey_GridInt-Report_final_v1.docx Page 10 of 27 15/12/2015
Discuss the following aspects, whether they are important for a Turkish grid study, and
specify tasks for a consortium of scientists: TECHNICAL OPTIONS FOR THE TRANSMISSION
OF WIND POWER AND PHOTOVOLTAICS FROM CENTRES OF WIND OR PV TO THE LOAD
CENTRES FOR THE REFERENCE AND THE TARGET YEAR; GRID-CONNECTION
REQUIREMENTS FOR WIND FARMS AND PHOTOVOLTAICS (STATIC AND DYNAMIC
STABILITY); LOAD FLOW ANALYSIS FOR THE TRANSMISSION GRID (AND DISTRIBUTION
GRID?) FOR THE REFERENCE AND THE TARGET YEAR; IDENTIFYING NON-TRANSMISSIBLE
POWER OF WIND AND PHOTOVOLTAIC; DETERMINING THE GRID EXPANSION NEEDS FOR
THE TRANSMISSION GRID (AND THE DISTRIBUTION GRID?); SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR
TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGIES; SYSTEM SERVICES (REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS) and
ECONOMIC EVALUATION.
Opinion of Working Group 1:
Technical options for the transmission of power from centres of renewable power
generation to the load centres should be assessed for the years 2014 and 2023.
Grid-connection requirements for wind farms and photovoltaic plants should be taken
into account. For CSPs and some wind farms, grid-connection requirements should be
separately investigated.
Load flow analysis for both the transmission and the distribution grids could be done for
the years 2014 and through to 2023. The change of load flows due to power feed-in from
wind and photovoltaic is important for the grid planning.
The grid expansion needs for the transmission grid and the distribution grid should be
determined.
A sensitivity analysis for transmission technologies could be taken into consideration.
System services should be studied in terms of voltage and frequency support, system
restoration following outages/faults, and islanding capabilities with high penetration of
renewables.
A mathematical model for the transmission system should be developed. This model
should analyze the dynamic transients for the Turkish electricity system.
New transmission technologies should be evaluated, i.e. long distance direct current
lines from centres of generation to load centres.
The cost of integration of renewables into the grid system should be studied.
Opinion of Working Group 2:
Grid planning is important in order to achieve the renewable energy objectives. Regular
load flow analyses are being performed by current distribution centre.
Calculation of how much renewable energy may be connected to the current grid for the
year 2023 targets is required.
Power plants should be planned close to points of consumption; otherwise study should
compare AC and DC transmission technologies and how to integrated DC into the Turkish
power supply system (AC versus DC).

Development of production estimation data regarding wind power plans (WPP) and
small power producers (SPP).
Shared record keeping for current generation data of power plants and necessity for
establishing statistical data?
How should the coordination between grid planning, investment and operation centres
be established?
Is it possible to control the system through regional load distribution centres?
Which method can be used to determine the capacity of grid-connected renewable
energy?
How should studies on the connection of off-shore power plants to the system be carried
out?
Reactive control mechanism in WPPs and SPPs.
Role of WPPs and SPPs on system recovery, stable operation ranges.
Tasks of National and Regional Distributors and need for staff in WPP and SPP
management (wind and solar power desk?)
4.4 Energy economic analysis
Question:
• Discuss the following aspects, whether they are important for a Turkish grid study, and
specify tasks for a consortium of scientists: BALANCING POWER REQUIREMENTS AND
PROVISION; IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF FORECASTS OF WIND POWER AND
PHOTOVOLTAIC FEED-IN AND IT’S EFFECT ON BALANCING POWER PROVISION;
FLEXIBILITY MEASURES - TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL POTENTIAL OF CONVENTIONAL
POWER PLANTS, DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT and STORAGE APPLICATIONS; MODEL-
BASED ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR IN TURKEY FOR THE REFERENCE AND THE
TARGET YEAR and ECONOMIC EVALUATION.
Opinion of Working Group 1:
Balancing power requirements and provision should be separately studied for both wind
and solar power. How much will be needed in future? What is the best solution for
reduction of balancing power costs?
New approaches related to the quality of forecasts of wind and PV feed-in could be
studied. Integration of existing RITM (Wind Monitoring and Forecast Centre) operations
with the system operation of TSO could be investigated. How could a new PV feed-in
forecasting capacity be built?
In terms of technical and financial potential of conventional power plants, demand-side
management (DSM) and storage applications, and flexibility measures should be
identified. Participation of DSM in the balancing power market and participation of DSM
in the primary and secondary frequency control reserves could be studied. Drafting of
GIZ Turkey

technical requirements and financial aspects of storage as a provider of system reserves
could be done.
Economic efficiency and cost effectiveness of storage facilities, DSM and high
penetration of renewables could be investigated.
Opinion of Working Group 2:
• Which energy storage systems and features should be consider, from the point of view of
system reliability?
• Should distributed generation, distributed storage and demand-side management be
provided by focusing on smart grid investments?
• Determination and elimination of negative effects and preventive measures.
• Use of WPPs and SPPs at sudden load changes, impact of these load changes on WPPs
and SPPs and balancing mechanism.
• Role of demand response and storage systems on WPP and SPP management.
4.5 Research consortium, steering committee and independent review team
Working Groups 1 and 2 proposed that the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources as the leading
body for the Turkish grid study. MENR, TSOs, DSOs and the Regulator should be involved in the
steering committee. The research consortium should include TUBITAK (Scientific and Technical
Research Centre of Turkey), regional development agencies, universities, institutions and R&D
companies.
An independent review team should assess the scientific quality of intermediate results and reports,
and send recommendations to the steering committee. The Turkish Wind Energy Association
(TÜREB), International Solar Energy Society, Turkey Section (GÜNDER) and academics could be
members of the review team. The following figure shows institutions that could be involved in a
Turkish grid study:

5 RENAC’s recommendations
5.1 Suggested content and milestones for a Turkish grid study
RENAC recommends that the crucial question of the Turkish grid study is: “How does the power
supply system need to change to be able to integrate high amounts of wind and solar generated
power?”. This question implies already the use of fluctuating renewable energy power plants and
their growing importance for the power supply. Given the political target of a sustainable, reliable
and affordable power supply, this is the right question to ask in a grid study.
A Turkish grid study shall provide decision makers with relevant information on strategic options for
the development of the entire Turkish power supply system with large amounts of wind and solar
power.
The Turkish grid study shall develop plans for Turkey’s entire power supply system for the year 2023
and 2033 with an outlook 25 years ahead because investments in the energy sector generally have a
long-term character. It shall take into account the most probable scenarios for the regional
development of wind power, photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar thermal (CSP) , as well as the
development of the load, the transmission grid, storage and other power stations.
The Turkish grid study shall provide detailed information on how existing and new thermal power
generation capacities, transmission grids, demand-side management, storage and power markets, as
well as variable renewables such as wind and PV, can contribute to the transformation towards a
flexible and climate-friendly power supply system.
The Turkish grid study shall take into account the ability of wind turbines and solar systems to provide
a wide range of system services that are needed to maintain grid stability.
For the roadmap of a Turkish grid study the following milestones are essential:
1. Identification of the leading body and definition of the involvement of other institutions
2. Agreement on questions to be addressed in a Turkish grid study
3. Definition of a time schedule for the Turkish grid study
4. Identification of a research consortium and an independent review team
5. Decision upon financing and costs
RENAC recommends that proposals and questions are taken into account, which were developed by
both working groups of the GIZ-RENAC-workshop “Turkish long-term grid integration study for wind
and photovoltaic”.
5.1.1 Leading body and involvement of other institutions via a steering committee
RENAC recommends that the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR) takes the lead for the
Turkish grid study. In addition, the following institutions should be involved in a steering committee:
transmission grid operator (TEİAŞ),
GIZ Turkey
Dokument: GIZ-Turkey_GridInt-Report_final_v1.docx Page 14 of 27 15/12/2015
distribution grid operators1 with a large amount of wind power and photovoltaic to be
connected to their systems,
Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA),
Scientific and Technical Research Centre of Turkey (TUBITAK),
Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB) and
International Solar Energy Society, Turkey Section (GÜNDER).
5.1.2 Questions to be addressed in a Turkish grid study
A Turkish grid study shall cover three parts: 1) scenarios 2) grid analysis and 3) flexibility options
analysis:
Part 1 “scenarios”:
The scenario part shall take into account the review of existing scenarios regarding wind
energy and solar power development in Turkey. It shall develop new time series for the feed-
in of electricity from photovoltaic, concentrating solar power and wind power for the years
2023 and 2033 for each raster area in Turkey.
The resolution of the raster area shall take transmission grid nodes and a certain amount of
square kilometre (e.g. 25 km x 25 km) into account. The time resolution for these scenarios
shall be 15 minutes. These time series shall be the input for the second and third part of the
study (grid analysis and flexibility). Special attention has to be paid to “extreme events” such
as annual peak demand and long periods with low power generation from wind and solar.
Part 2 “grid analysis “:
The grid part shall cover a detailed analysis on the static and dynamic stability of the
transmission grid in Turkey for the years 2023 and 2033. The input data for this are the time
series of part 1 “scenarios”.
The load flow analysis shall include alternative technical options to transport power from
centres of wind and solar power generation to centres of load (voltage increase of existing
lines, dynamic line rating, high temperature conductors, very high voltage direct current lines,
gas insulated transmission lines, underground cables).
Current grid code requirements and the need for further grid code development shall be
considered.
The study shall calculate the amount of non-transmissible power due to grid congestion
under the given scenarios and propose detailed grid extension measures for the years 2023

and 2033. These grid extension measures shall be based on the comparison of the alternative
technical options.
The study shall analyse the need for ancillary services such as balancing power (probabilistic
balancing power calculation methodology) and voltage control. The voltage control analysis
shall consider the reactive power provision by wind power and photovoltaic too.
Finally, the study shall calculate the investment and operational cost of alternative technical
options, grid extension measures and ancillary services and take sensitivity analyses into
account.
Part 3 “flexibility options analysis”:
The flexibility part shall analyse different options to increase the flexibility of the entire power
supply system and compare their costs. The question to be answered shall be “How can the
system flexibility be increased to operate it cost efficient with large amounts of wind and
solar power”. The prerequisite for this analysis shall be that wind and solar power have
priority access to the system.
The cost analysis shall take into account the investment, the operational and the external
costs (environmental costs / health costs / resource depletion costs). To compare measures it
shall calculate the levelised costs of flexibility2.
This part of the study shall develop and compare flexibility measures for the Turkish power
supply system for the years 2023 and 2033 to
o increase the flexibility of thermal power stations (investments in peak and middle
load power stations instead in base load power stations, upgrading existing power
plants)
o upgrade and extend the grid,
o manage loads (demand side management on spot / reserve markets, flexible tariffs,
household / energy-intensive industrial sector and transport sector) and
o store power for times with low wind and low solar resource availability.
A strategic outlook on the development of the Turkish power supply system for the next 25
years shall be part of the flexibility analysis.

ensure a high quality of the study outcome. The shall report to the steering committee. They shall
have access to the draft reports and to data used by the research consortium, a sufficient budget to
fulfil their tasks and adequate professional knowledge to check and ensure that
methods used to carry out the analysis are scientifically and technically valid,
data are generally appropriate and that the data quality is adequate,
calculation procedures used are adequate, scientifically and technically valid, adequately
documented and justified when necessary and
interpretations are in accordance with the goal of the study and the identified limitations.
5.1.4 Costs estimation
Estimations for the costs of a Turkish grid study covering the suggestions of chapter 5.1.1 to 5.1.3 are
only possible with some uncertainty at this initial stage. Owing to the complexity of the tasks and the
target to achieve reliable results RENAC estimates the costs as follows:
Approximately 1.75 million Euro for the research consortium
The independent review team should have a budget in the range of 5% to 10% of the
research consortium.
5.1.5 Time schedule
A time schedule for a Turkish grid study depends on decisions to be taken locally. The content of the
study could be agreed within some months. The access to data will probably take more time
especially if the study shall take into account realistic transmission and distribution grid data and
whether the independent review team will have access to this data and will get the right to verify the
draft results (further details see chapter 5.1.3). The time needed to complete the study will be
approximately 20 months.

5.2 Future training requirements
During the GIZ-RENAC seminar participants asked a range questions concerning renewable energy.
Based on these, RENAC recommends to focus on the following three topics for further trainings:
1. Large PV system planning and grid connection (fundamental components of a large grid-
connected PV, spatial planning, yield estimation, PV project development, system planning
and engineering, construction and operation, important technical aspects such as
component selection, grid connection, but also operation and maintenance and cash-flow
analysis methods); target group to be engineers; duration should be 3 days.
2. Technical aspects of grid connected photovoltaic and wind power systems connected to the
transmission and distribution grid (main components, quality standards, certification,
frequency control, voltage control (e.g. reactive power provision, fault ride through), grid
connection equipment, monitoring, controlling, grid codes for low / medium / high-voltage
grids); target group to be engineers; duration should be 3 days.
3. Follow-up workshop on a Turkish grid study (content, outline, questions to be answered,
data to be used, scenarios for the power supply system, grid extension and upgrade,
flexibility options, economic considerations); target groups to be ministries, planning
departments of transmission and distribution grid operators, meteorological institutes, and
wind and PV industry associations; duration should be 2 days.
