Abstract

In this research, wind energy potential of a specific region in Western Turkey has been analyzed by using WindPRO software. The analyzed site is located in Ayvacık district of Çanakkale province of Turkey. Two types of wind energy turbines with 3 MW power including Enercon E-101/3000 and Nordex N117/3000 have been selected for the analyses. Weibull distribution has been utilized in the wind energy potential assessment. Also, average wind speed values and prevailing wind directions have been calculated for the selected locations in the analyzed region. The prevailing wind direction was determined for Enercon E-101/3000 and Nordex N117/3000 turbines as NNW and SSE, respectively. Estimated electrical energy generation values for Enercon E-101/3000 and Nordex N117/3000 turbines were obtained between 10177-11925 MWh/year and 9283-10954 MWh/year, respectively. Moreover, shape and scale parameters for each wind directions and annual energy generation values of each location have been calculated within the scope of this work.
