Prediction wind energy potential using by wind data analysis in Bababurnu-Turkey

In Turkey, the importance of the renewable energy resources, and the number of the renewable energy power generation plants are increasing. Wind power has a considerable share, and the investments on this sector are growing. The first step of the electricity generation from wind power process consists of feasibility and wind potential studies. In this study, the wind power map and wind potential analysis are conducted for Canakkale & Aegean Region of Turkey using WAsP software. Also the distribution of the ideal wind power over the topography of the area is analyzed.
