Economic analyses of onshore commercial large scale wind power plant installed in Turkey

Abstract

In this study, the average wind conditions and economic analyses of four identical wind turbines of three-bladed and 3 MW of rated power located in an installed wind farm abbreviated as WTPP and found in Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey in Hatay province, were conducted. In this way, the probability density distributions based on wind directions regarding these identical wind turbines of the wind farm as well as cumulative probability density distributions regarding wind speeds for all identical wind turbines were performed. Besides, the economic analysis in terms of the present value calculation for a 3 MW rated power wind turbine was executed, in which the results demonstrated that the application of the wind turbine project of this type would be profitable.

Türkiye’de kurulu olan kara tipi ticari ve büyük ölçekli rüzgar güç santralinin ekonomik analizleri

Öz

Bu çalışmada; Türkiye'nin Doğu Akdeniz bölgesinde, Hatay şehrinde bulunan ve WTPP olarak kısaltılmış kurulu bir rüzgar çiftliğinde yer alan, üç kanatlı ve 3 MW’lık nominal güce sahip dört özdeş rüzgar türbininin ortalama rüzgar koşulları ve ekonomik analizleri yapılmıştır. Bu çerçevede; rüzgar çiftliğinin, bu özdeş rüzgar türbinlerine ilişkin, rüzgar yönlerine göre olasılık yoğunluğu dağılımları ve aynı rüzgar türbinleri için, rüzgar hızlarına göre kümülatif olasılık yoğunluğu dağılımları, gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, 3 MW’lık anma gücüne sahip bir rüzgâr türbinine, bugünkü değer hesaplaması yöntemiyle, ekonomik analiz uygulanmıştır ve elde edilen sonuçlar, bu tip rüzgâr türbini projesinin uygulanmasının karlı olacağını göstermiştir.
