A Comparative Wind Power Plant Feasibility Study for Gökçeada, Turkey

Abstract

In this study, renewable energy project analysis softwares RETScreen® International and ALWIN are used to analyze the wind data of Gökçeada, Turkey. The annual cumulative wind speed values of Gökçeada applied to these softwares; the system characteristics, annual energy production, power and energy curves of selected wind turbines are obtained as output. The main objective is to indicate the abundant potential of wind power in Turkey
