“…Therefore, public institutions and universities have been striving to measure the wind potential and to conduct certain research projects about this resource (Akpinar and Akpinar 205;Dundar and Inan 1996;Durak and Sen 2002;EIE 2005;Kose et al 2002;Ozerdem and Turkeli 2003;Ozgener and Hepbasli 2002;Oztopal et al 2000;Sen and Sahin 1998;Tolun et al 1995;Turksoy 1995). Unfortunately, at present time, we do not have enough wind speed data registered at wind speed stations along all perspective sites of Turkey.…”

In Turkey, as in various parts of the world, there is almost no wind data with the appropriate quality for an evaluation of wind potential. Therefore, in this study, wind characteristics have been analyzed in Kutahya, Turkey. Characteristics such as annual, seasonal, monthly and diurnal wind speed and wind direction variations are examined between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2004. A technical assessment has been made of the electricity generation using ALWIN program for the wind turbines that have different sizes between 300 and 2000 kW rated power. The annual energy produced by a Bonus 1MW/70 wind turbine is estimated to be 1276 MWh for the Dumlupinar University Main Campus. The energy production analysis showed that the average wind speed, which indicates the suitability, with small size wind turbines produces electricity to fulfil the deficient electric power during the peak hours.

Since the geography of Turkey provides appropriate meteorological conditions for the wind energy generation, it is inevitable to support the wind energy initiatives. In general, potential wind energy areas in Turkey lie in the northwestern and northern parts and at locations along the Aegean Sea coast. These regions are highly suitable for the wind energy generation, since the wind speeds exceed 3 m/s in most of these areas. So, due to the western part of Turkey are highly suitable for wind energy applications, most of researchers have focused mainly on these areas to calculate wind characteristics. This study is aimed to summarize the studies carried out on the parameters of the Weibull distribution function in western part of Turkey.Keywords: Wind characteristics; Weibull function; Wind energy, Wind data, Turkey, West Anatolia. BATI ANADOLU RÜZGAR KARAKTERĐSTĐKLERĐ ÜZERĐNE YAPILAN ÇALIŞMALARIN DEĞERLENDĐRĐLMESĐ ÖZETTürkiye coğrafik konumu nedeniyle farklı hava akımlarının etkisi altında kaldığından, rüzgar enerjisi potansiyeli oldukça yüksek olan bir ülkedir. Türkiye'de potansiyel rüzgar enerjisi alanları genel olarak, Batı Anadolu'nun kuzey, kuzeybatı kısımları ile Ege Denizi sahili boyunca uzanmaktadır. Bu bölgelerde rüzgar hızı çoğunlukla 3 m/s değerinin üzerinde olduğundan yüksek bir rüzgar enerji potansiyeline sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu nedenle pek çok araştırmacı, rüzgar enerjisi karakteristikleri çalışmalarında bu bölge üzerinde yoğunlaşmıştır. Bu çalışma, Batı Anadolu'da Weibull dağılım fonsiyonu üzerinde yapılan çalışmaları özetlemektedir.

The aim of this study was to predict the wind energy content over the campus area of Izmir Institute of Technology. The wind data were collected at 10 and 30 m mast heights for a period of 16 months. Mean wind speeds were 7.03 and 8.14 m/s at 10 and 30 m mast heights, respectively. The 'WAsP' and 'WindPRO' softwares were used for the wind statistics and energy calculations. Suitable sites were selected according to the created wind power and energy maps. Wind turbines with nominal powers between 600 and 1500 kW were established for annual energy production calculations and best fitted ones were used for the micrositting. q
