In this study, in addition to the recent advances and tendencies in wind turbine technology around the world, the progress of commercial wind turbine technology installed in Turkey was also thoroughly examined. In this respect, several metrics for installed wind turbines including number of turbines, installed power capacity (MW), mean rated capacity (MW), mean rotor diameter (m), mean specific power capacity (W/m2), and mean hub height (m) have been obtained between the years of 2011 and 2019. According to the obtained results, the mean rated capacity of Turkey’s annual installed wind turbines advanced from 1.86 MW in 2011 to 3.52 MW in 2019. However, the mean specific power of yearly installed wind turbines declined from 423.7 W/m2 to 314.1 W/m2. Outcomes revealed that the growth in the size and the reduction in the specific power have contributed to the tendency of higher power outputs, and wind turbine capacity factor and power generation capacity have been on the rise in Turkey. In time, wind turbines with greater rotor diameters and hubs started to show up more observable on land. For that purpose, the proposed solution to regulate turbine visibility during site selection is the potential visibility model (PVM), which is meant to be used as an auxiliary variable.
