Abstract

In this study, the site selection and capacity determination of an offshore wind farm the site selection and capacity determination of a potential wind farm in the western Black Sea region of Turkey is carried out by applying technical, environmental, and social criteria in full details for a suitable location along a coastline segment of 600 km-length. The region selected for the wind farm is located off the Kıyıköy shores which covers approximately 75-80 km2 area. According to an intended target for the size and capacity of the planned wind farm, 99 wind turbines of V174-9.5 MW with rotor diameter 174 m and hub height 110 m are suggested for the possible area use. The nominal power capacity of the entire farm is calculated by the use of wind data for the region and technical data of the selected turbine. The calculations give an estimated total annual energy yield of 3300 GW·h/year, corresponding to a supply of energy for nearly one million people.
