N2  - In this paper, the wind energy potential in Menemen is statistically analyzed based on wind speed data which measuredhourly in 2008 – 2009. Besides the wind turbine parameters, wind speed distribution is one of the most important parameters forwind power utilization at one site. It is used the Weibull and Rayleigh distributions to determine wind energy potential of theregion. The conclusion of this preliminary research suggests that wind energy in the campus is statistically convenient forelectricity generation. Measured hourly time series of wind speed data were obtained from the State Meteorological Station inMenemen over a two year period from 2008 to 2009. Finally, these observations are compared with the theoretical data, whichare obtained from the Weibull and Rayleigh distributions, by means of statistical hypothesis testing. The wind speed distributionsare represented by Weibull distribution and also by Rayleigh distribution. Based on the experimental data, it was found that thenumerical values of k range from 1,838 to 1,869 while those of c are in the range of 5,629-5,898. As a result, the Weibull modelprovide better power density estimation than Rayleigh model for the station
