In thisstudy, the wind energy potential of the city of Amasra in Turkey was analysed.Data from the General Directorate of Turkish Meteorology for the years of2012-2013 were taken. The data had been recorded for a height of 10 m by theDirectorate. In the analyses, annual average wind speed of the city was foundas 5.77 m/s. In order to calculate the annual wind energy generation andcapacity factor of the city, a 600-kW turbine belonging to Nordex company and900 kW and 2300 kW turbines belonging to Enercon company were used. Thus,investment feasibility with 3 different turbines was analysed. In the economicanalysis, payback and net present value methods were used. In conclusion, itbecame clear that the use of 2300 kW turbine in the region would be moreprofitable.</p></abstract>
