The Determination of Dominant Wind Speed to Increase Efficiency of Wind Energy in Manisa Province

Renewable energy resources is seen as an important source with an increasing interest all over the world in covering the energy requirement owing to the fact that the envoronmental problems increase every other day and the fossile energy sources gradually decrease. The wind energy comes on the top of these energy resources whose usage and technology develop most quickl among these renewable energy resources. In this study, it has been aimed to determine the most dominant direction of the wind to be able to benefit from the wind energy most effectively in Manisa. It is of vital importance to determine it in terms of locating the tribune in the right direction.In Manisa, the measurement of wind speed and direction for a year has been done and 8760 winds’ blowing direction and speed have been determined. These data has been typed in Excel computer program. Making use of this program, these 8760 winds have also been assessed according to how many different directions and for how long duration they have winded. It has also been evaluated that in which direction winds have overwhelmingly blown registering it in Excel medium and a rose wind has been provided indicating the dominant wind direction. As a result of the researches, the dominant wind direction has been found as North-Northeast and East-Southeast. In Manisa, it was arrived as consensus that when the system is being established it should be paid attention that the direction of the dominant winds should be in an open area to be able to utilise productively the Wind Tribunes

Making Use Of The Wind Tribunes With The Little Power In The Requirement Of The Electricity Energy Need

In this study it has been aimed that a little amount of the electricity energy need of Celal Bayar Universty Golmarmara Vocational high school in the city Manisa will be covered by the wind tribunes with the little power. In this study, the electricity energy amounts, which will be produced by the wind tribunes of 2kW, 3kW and 5kW has been kept as aim. To be able to determine the energy amounts from these tribunes, the wind speed and direction data of 8260 hours for 1 year has been provided from the meteorology station. These data of 8760 hours for a year has been registered making use of Excel computer program. The quivalent of these wind speeds of 8760 hours measured at 10 metres height coinciding at the altitude of 20m and 30m have also been accounted at excell computer program using Hellman‘s Relation. The theoretical power, net power and electricity energy values of each hour to be produced from the 2kW, 3kW and 5kW’ wind tribunes for the altitudes of 10m, 20m and 30 metres have been accounted one by one. At the end of the study, it has been concluded that the basic needs such as the enlightening and computer of the Vocational high school can easily be obtained from a wind tribune with little power
