You should not give direct 15 V to the ESP8266. You should use a regulator IC. The following articles may give you some guidelines regarding this matter.

Maybe you're right, but I think he meant one (quantity) 5 Volt. At least I see a space between. But the answer is still the same... you can't even drive a raw ESP - ESP-01, ESP-07, ESP-12, etc with 5V. Ask me how I know... Cooked one - I tried a fully charged Li-Ion 18650... showing 4.2 Volts on an ESP-01. That's before finding the data sheet long time ago. If I recall correctly, it'll handle up to about 3.7.
But rpiloverbd is right... you'll need a regulator IC... OR... if you don't want to bother with the added circuitry, get a WeMos or NodeMCU and power it by the 5V pin.

Which version of esp8266?
