Abstract

 
 In this study, wind characteristics
 and wind energy potential of seven cities from The West of Black Sea Region in
 Turkey were analyzed. The wind data were obtained by National State
 Meteorological Service. It was measured at 10 meters’ height in the date range
 2010-2014. Weibull probability density function was calculated and estimated
 Weibull shape parameter k and scale
 parameter c, with the data for those
 locations. According to the power calculations of the region, annual mean power
 densities of Zonguldak, Bartın, Kastamonu, Bolu, Karabük, Düzce and Sinop were
 calculated as 105 W/m2, 37,4 W/m2, 40 W/m2,
 27,15 W/m2, 27 W/m2, 26,3 W/m2 and 209 W/m2
 at the height of 50 m, respectively. The results show that, the region has not
 enough wind energy potential considering investment on wind power energy except
 Sinop.
