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.
