Assessment of the Wind Energy Potential of Kutahya, Turkey

In Turkey, as in various parts of the world, there is almost no wind data of the appropriate quality for an evaluation of wind potential. Therefore, in this study, wind characteristics have been analysed 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 1 MW/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.

The popularization of both small-sized and large-sized wind turbines is indispensable for the popularization of wind power generation. Though many small-sized wind turbines are manufactured in the world, most of them are not suitable for the special wind conditions in Japan, which are characterized by frequent change of wind direction and heavy turbulence. This paper describes the results of the characteristics test of a small-sized perpendicular-axis type wind turbine to identify the conditions of a small-sized wind turbine suited to Japanese wind conditions.
