Abstract

The current article aimed to analyze wind data in locations where wind turbines were located in various regions of Turkey between 2013 and 2022. Additionally, the goal was to compare this data with the wind data collected from OMGI devices positioned in locations within the Eastern Anatolia region devoid of wind turbines yet anticipated to experience robust wind conditions. This analysis showed that wind turbines could be installed in the high-wind areas of the Eastern Anatolia region, where wind turbines were unavailable. Omni devices were placed in these regions by the state meteorology institution to determine the wind speeds of these regions, and wind speed data were obtained from these points. SPSS analyses were conducted on wind speeds gathered from 82 locations, both with and without wind turbines, and corresponding tables and graphics were generated. The findings from the analyses conducted on these graphs and tables have been interpreted. Upon analysis of the data in the Eastern Anatolia region, when juxtaposed with the average data, it was clear that wind turbines can be installed in some places in the Eastern Anatolia region.

Özet

Bu makalede, 2013-2022 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin çeşitli bölgelerinde rüzgâr türbinlerinin bulunduğu lokasyonlardaki rüzgâr verilerinin analizi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca, bu verilerin, rüzgâr türbinleri olmayan ancak güçlü rüzgâr koşullarının olduğu beklenen Doğu Anadolu bölgesindeki lokasyonlara yerleştirilen OMGI cihazlarından toplanan rüzgâr verileriyle karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu analiz, rüzgâr türbinlerinin bulunmadığı Doğu Anadolu bölgesinin yüksek rüzgârlı bölgelerine rüzgâr türbinlerinin kurulabileceğini göstermiştir. Bu bölgelerin rüzgâr hızlarını belirlemek için Devlet Meteoroloji Kurumu tarafından bu bölgelere Omni cihazları yerleştirilmiş ve bu noktalardan rüzgâr hızı verileri elde edilmiştir. Rüzgâr türbinli ve türbinsiz olmak üzere toplam 82 lokasyondan toplanan rüzgâr hızları üzerinde SPSS analizleri yapılmış ve ilgili tablolar ve grafikler oluşturulmuştur. Bu grafik ve tablolar üzerinde yapılan analizlerden elde edilen bulgular yorumlanmıştır. Doğu Anadolu bölgesindeki veriler analiz edildiğinde, ortalama verilerle karşılaştırıldığında, Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi'ndeki bazı yerlere rüzgâr türbinlerinin kurulabileceği açıkça görülmüştür.
