In this study, the estimation of energy production from a small-scale vertical axis wind turbine was investigated in the Bitlis-Rahva region in the eastern part of Turkey. Weibull and Rayleigh distributions were used in the analysis of wind data. The appropriate wind distribution has been determined through error analysis. According to error tests, it has been determined that the Weibull distribution best represents the observed wind data. According to the Weibull distribution, the annual average wind speed was 3.17 m/s, with an average power density of 45.25 W/m2. The annual energy production value and capacity factor have been calculated for a vertical axis wind turbine with a nominal power of 3 kW.
