Abstract

As in many countries, external dependence on energy constitutes majority of the budget allocated for energy costs in our country. Recently, in accordance with increasing global warming, the tendency to the renewable energy sources is increasing as well. However, the usage of the renewable energy sources costs very much at present. Therefore, a well-organized feasibility analysis both prevents the producer from a high cost and raises the productivity.

In this study, wind power, with a huge importance among the renewable energy sources in our country, was mentioned and cost, financial, and risk analysis were done for the system with 100 kW in total, 2 turbines; each with 50kW, thought to be established on Taşlıçiftlik Campus in Tokat province by using RETScreen analysis program.
