Abstract

Thirteen years of wind data from Bozcaada Meteo-station have been used to evaluate the potential of wind power on Bozcaada Island, in the North-eastern part of the Aegean Sea. Investigations show that Bozcaada has a considerable wind potential (average wind speed M = 6.4 ms−1 and a mean energy density E = 324 W/m−2 at the location of the meteo-station, at 10 m above ground level which could cover its yearly electricity demand by utilizing only one 250 kW wind turbine. The wind atlas analysis and application program, WAsP, has been used to evaluate the wind atlas statistics and energy densities of Bozcaada. The yearly power production of the 250 kW wind turbine, assumed to be installed has been calculated. Then an environmental and techno-economic analysis of wind power has been carried out.
