Istanbul is located in the northwest part of Turkey and has the greatest population of any city in the country. Istanbul and its surroundings were researched for wind potential. Energy production from wind was evaluated technically and economically in this study. Çorlu, Kumköy and Şile sites were examined. Other sites in the same region (Göztepe, Kireçburnu, Bahçeköy, Florya and Kartal) were also evaluated but the results were not satisfactory, and for this reason, these sites were not examined in this study. When we checked daily, monthly and yearly wind speed values and frequency distributions, the wind energy potential of Çorlu, Kumköy and Şile were greater than other sites. Çorlu, Kumköy and especially Şile’s wind speed data are statistically decreasing. A Nordex N117 91m hub height wind turbine can produce 6099 MWh in Çorlu, 6459 MWh in Şile, 7265 MWh in Kumköy. A Nordex N117 140 m hub height wind turbine can produce 6471 MWh in Çorlu, 7439 MWh in Şile and 8175 MWh in Kumköy. The energy costs were calculated by the average of 36 years of wind measurement data using Nordex N117 turbines. Energy costs with Nordex N117 91 m and 140 m hub height in Çorlu, Şile and Kumköy are 0.025-0,027 US$/KWh, 0.022-0,025 US$/KWh, 0.020-0,023 US$/KWh, respectively.

“…For different applications in many locations, it is clear that wind energy can be competitive (Musgrove, 1987; Quraeshi, 1987a, b;Adell et al, 1987;Pandey and Chandra, 1986). In a recent study (Habali et al, 1987), an evaluation of wind energy in Jordan, and its application for water pumping and electrical power generation was published. It was found that the monthly average wind speed and wind power density range from 0)7 to 7)2 m s\ and from 2 to 460 W m\, respectively.…”

“…In terms of wind speed Ras Muneef, Mafraq, and Aqaba are the three most potential sites among all sites covered. Their annual average power densities are 275, 270, and 202 W m\, respectively (Habali et al, 1987).…”

“…The operation and maintenance costs include the insurance, repair, monitoring, and management, whereas the cost of capital consists of interest and repayment of loans. To calculate the PVC of energy produced per year, the following expression (Lysen 1983) is used and referred to by Alnaser (1993) and Habali et al (1987): where I is the initial cost of the wind turbine, civil works and transportation, and the connection cables, n is the life time of the turbine, A is the operation and maintenance cost, S is the scrap value (10% of the initial cost), r is the discount rate (7.55%), and I is the inflation rate (6%). The total kWh per year for each location can be found from the following equation: where N is the wind speed at hub height (m/s), P N the power output of wind turbine in kW at speed N, and h N the number of hour per year at speed N .…”

Solar energy and wind are likely to play an important role in the future energy generation in Oman. This article assesses wind power cost per kWh of energy produced using four types of wind machines at 27 locations within Oman. These sites cover all regions in Oman. Hourly values of wind speed recorded between 2000 and 2009, in most cases, were used for all 27 locations. Wind duration curves were developed and utilized to calculate the cost per kWh of energy generated from four chosen wind machines. It was found that the cost of energy is low in the south and middle regions of Oman compared with that in the north region. The most promising sites for the economic harnessing of wind power are Thumrait, Qairoon Hairiti, Masirah, and Sur, with an energy cost of less than 0.117 US$/kWh when 2000 kW, 1500 kW, 850 kW, or 250 kW wind turbines are used.
