Özet

In recent years, the increasing issues related to fossil fuels, such as diminishing reserves and growing environmental problems, have led countries and energy 

companies worldwide, including Turkey, to seek clean and renewable energy sources. Establishing wind energy farms has become one of the fastest-growing 

sectors among renewable energy installations in Turkey, driven by the country's high population growth, economic development, and reliance on imported energy. 

Turkey, particularly along its Marmara and Aegean coastlines, has significant wind energy potential. Efficient utilization of this potential depends on accurate 

measurement and careful analysis of wind data. In 2025, Turkey's wind energy production reached record levels, especially in February, and this trend is expected 

to continue, significantly contributing to the country's clean energy goals. In 2025, wind energy production in Turkey reached record levels, particularly in February. 

This trend is expected to continue, contributing significantly to the country's clean energy goals. Wind speed parameters, including velocity, frequency, and directional 

distributions, are crucial for calculating electrical energy production from selected wind turbines and determining the appropriate turbine types. In this study, a wind 

measurement mast was installed, and annual wind data from the Sakarya-Esentepe region in Turkey were analyzed using specialized wind energy software such as 

WindPro and WASP. Based on this analysis, suitable wind turbine types were selected, and the annual electrical energy production was estimated as a case study 

for this type of wind farm
