“…By increasing the wind energy installed power to 20,000 MW by 2023, and the geothermal energy installed power to 600 MW, it is aimed to popularize the utilization of solar energy and to benefit from the solar potential of the country at the maximum level (Ozcan, 2014). As a result of the more effective employment of RES, use of fossil sources, mainly the import resources will be decreased (Bilgili and Sahin, 2009; Ozcan, 2014).…”

Turkey relies heavily on natural gas in electricity generation and imports almost all of its natural gas needs. The country's natural gas import bill currently comprises a large proportion of the country's total energy bill, and the government of Turkey wants to reduce the weight of natural gas in the energy mix to reduce dependency in its energy policy. In this study, three different scenarios were considered to explore whether renewable energy sources or nuclear energy can be alternatives to natural gas to reduce energy dependency. The economic and technical analyses and comparisons of these scenarios have also been carried out. First, electricity generation expansion planning of Turkey for the 2015-2030 planning horizon was realized by using a genetic algorithm. In the first scenario, besides all conventional energy sources, renewable energy sources were included in the model as an input. In the second scenario, the first scenario was repeated without natural gas. In the third scenario, all conventional energy sources are included in the first scenario, except natural gas and renewable energy source. It was concluded from these calculations that nuclear energy is not likely to have a significant place in Turkey's future energy policy since it has a high investment cost and leads to dependence on foreign resources. Additionally, it is argued that renewable energy source cannot be an alternative to natural gas or other energy sources considering the low capacity factor and high investment costs.

“…Besides, the combined wind energy systems such as the water pumping system [34,35] and wind-electrolyzer fuel cell system [36], with their cost analysis, are provided, which give comprehensive ideas and methods for the wind energy system analysis. Bilgili, M. and Besir Sahin have also studied wind energy potential in Turkey using Weibull and Rayleigh probability density functions, as well as WAsP (Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program) which quantified the energy potential in different regions of Turkey [37,38]. Wind energy potential in Taiwan, Egypt, and India are also evaluated and analyzed [39][40][41].…”

The wind energy utilization in Hong Kong is limited, although its potential has proven to be significant. The lack of effective policy for wind energy development is the main constraint. In this paper, the wind power potential in Hong Kong is analyzed, and the wind power potential assessment is conducted based on one-year field measured wind data using Light Detection & Ranging (LiDAR) technology in a proposed offshore wind farm. Results show that the offshore wind power potential in Hong Kong was 14,449 GWh which occupied 32.20% of electricity consumption in 2017. In addition, the electricity market and power structure in Hong Kong are also reviewed with the existing policies related to renewable energy development. Conclusions can be made that the renewable energy target in Hong Kong is out of date and until now there have been no specific effective policies on wind energy. In order to urge Hong Kong, catch up with other countries/regions on wind energy development, the histories and evolution of wind energy policies in other countries, especially in Denmark, are reviewed and discussed. Suggestions are provided in the aspects of economics, public attitude, and political factors which can stimulate wind power development in Hong Kong.

In this study, efficiency study of five wind turbines of a wind farm were performed using data of wind speed, wind direction, air temperature and electric generation of five turbines selected. Parameters effecting turbine efficiency were also examined.Analysis of monthly and yearly dominant wind directions for selected turbines was performed. Performed analysis of turbines was also conducted considering the measured wind speed and direction. Aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbines were defined according to the variation of measured wind speeds. Annual energy production of turbines were calculated in order to obtain the most productive and efficient months. Keywords: Efficiency, Electric generation, Wind turbine Kurulu Bir Rüzgâr Çiftliğinin Verim Analizi ÖzetBu çalışmada bir rüzgâr çiftliğine ait beş adet türbine ait rüzgâr hızı, rüzgâr yönü, güç üretimi ve hava sıcaklığı verileri kullanılarak ilgili türbinlerin verimlilik çalışması yapılmıştır. Türbin verimini etkileyen parametreler de ayrıca incelenmiştir.Seçilen türbinler için aylık ve yıllık hâkim rüzgâr yönlerinin analizi yapılmıştır. Gerçek hızları ve yönleri dikkate alınarak türbinlerin performans analizi yapılmıştır. Rüzgâr hız değişimlerine göre, türbine aerodinamik karakteristik değerleri çıkarılmıştır. Türbinlerin yıllık enerji üretim değerleri hesaplanarak enerji üretiminin en fazla ve en verimli olduğu aylar belirlenmiştir.
