Investigation of Suitable Site Selection Criteria for Offshore Wind Turbines and Application to North Aegean Shores

Abstract

Wind energy has been used by humanity for various purposes for nearly 2000 years. The development process has started with windmills that convert wind energy into mechanical energy and then continues with offshore wind turbines in the 21st century. In this study, suitable site selection criteria, which are the most important step in the design process of offshore wind turbines, have been examined in details. The methods and engineering solutions used in the suitable site selection were evaluated. Application was made using the WAsP package program for Gökçeada, Bozcaada, Çanakkale and Ayvacık regions on the North Aegean coasts. Wind speed and potential, depth conditions, restricted areas, marine transportation and cable lines have been recognized as determining criteria in turbine placement. As a result, Bozcaada and Gökçeada coasts have been identified as suitable areas for offshore wind turbines.

Açık Deniz Rüzgar Türbinleri için Uygun Yer Seçim Kriterlerinin İrdelenmesi ve Kuzey Ege Kıyılarına Uygulanması

Abstract

Rüzgar enerjisi insanoğlu tarafından, yaklaşık 2000 yıldır çeşitli amaçlarda kullanılmıştır. Rüzgar enerjisini mekanik enerjiye çeviren yel değirmenleriyle başlayan gelişim süreci, 21. yüzyılda açık deniz rüzgar türbinleriyle devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, açık deniz rüzgar türbinlerinin tasarım sürecinin en önemli basamağını oluşturan uygun yer seçim kriterleri detaylı şekilde incelenmiştir. Uygun yer seçiminde kullanılan yöntemler ve mühendislik çözümleri değerlendirilmiştir. Kuzey Ege kıyılarında bulunan Gökçeada, Bozcaada, Çanakkale ve Ayvacık bölgeleri için WAsP paket programı kullanılarak uygulama yapılmıştır. Rüzgar hızı ve potansiyeli, derinlik koşulları, yasak sahalar, deniz ulaşım ve kablo hatları türbin yerleşiminde belirleyici kriterler olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Bozcaada ve Gökçeada kıyıları açık deniz rüzgar türbinleri için uygun alanlar olarak tespit edilmiştir.
