THE ANALYSIS OF WIND DATA WITH RAYLEIGH DISTRIBUTION AND OPTIMUM TURBINE AND COST ANALYSIS IN ELMADAĞ,TURKEY

Abstract

In this study, wind energy potential of Elmadağ region is analyzed statistically by using the data of wind speed that is measured hourly between 2012-2013 years, then economic analysis of wind investment in the region has been studied. Wind turbine parameters and wind speed distribution in the region play an important role to get energy. Therefore, firstly, Rayleigh statistical method is used for the research of region’s wind energy potential. Wind speed data of region, scale parameters value, energy density quantity, the most common wind speed, speed values that have maximum contribution to energy generation are calculated monthly and annually with this method. In the second part of the study, amount of energy generation and capacity factors are calculated annually by using three different turbines. Finally, cost analysis of investment is made by various calculation methods and economic profitability is calculated. According to results, the most convenient and profitable turbine is determined by comparison.
