Statistical Analysis of Wind Energy Density in the BabuburnuÇanakkale Region of Turkey

The total of feasible wind energy potential is estimated to be 47 GW in Turkey, and especially Çanakkale, İzmir, Balıkesir and Hatay basins are excellent wind resources for wind farm installations. Therefore, the capability of the wind power potential of Bababurnu-Çanakkale province in the Marmara region of Turkey was reported in the context of this study. Parameters including the superior wind velocity direction, average wind velocity, Weibull and Rayleigh parameters, probability distribution, and wind power potential of this province were processed and analyzed in terms of annual, seasonal and monthly point of view. Finally, at a level of 10 m over the ground surface, the average wind velocity and average wind energy potential in this site were determined as 6.01 m/s and 257 W/m2 , respectively according to the whole processed data. These data indicated that Bababurnu-Çanakkale region has an acceptable wind energy potential, which is quite reasonable for planting wind power turbines.

Bababurnu-Çanakkale Bölgesindeki Rüzgar Enerji Yoğunluğu İstatistik Analizi

Türkiye’deki uygulanabilir rüzgar enerjisi potansiyelinin 47 GW dolaylarında olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Özellikle, Çanakkale, İzmir, Balıkesir ve Hatay havzaları rüzgar çiftliklerinin kurulumu için mükemmel rüzgar kaynaklarına sahip bölgelerdir. Bu sebeple, Türkiye’nin Marmara Bölgesi, BababurnuÇanakkale yöresindeki rüzgar gücü potansiyelinin uygulanabilirliği, bu çalışma kapsamında bildirilmektedir. Bu yörenin rüzgar hızı ve yönü, ortalama rüzgar hızı, Weibull ve Rayleigh parametreleri, olasılık dağılımı ve rüzgar gücü potansiyeli gibi parametreleri, yıllık, mevsimlik ve de aylık işleme tabii tutularak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçta, yer seviyesine ilaveten 10 m üzeri bir rakım değerinde, mevcut verilerin analiziyle, bu mevkiye ait, ortalama rüzgar hızı ve ortalama rüzgar hızı potansiyeli, sırası ile 6,01 m/s ve de 257 W/m2 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Böylece, Bababurnu bölgesinin; rüzgar türbinlerinin inşaası kapsamında, kabul edilebilir bir rüzgar enerjisi potansiyeline sahip olduğu gösterilmiştir.
