    Offshore wind power potential of the Black Sea region in Turkey
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2017) Argin, Mehmet; Yerci, Volkan
    Majority of the studies on offshore wind power potential assessment is limited to the examination of the wind speed only. This study examines the offshore wind power potential of the Black Sea coastal region in Turkey based on location selection criteria including territorial waters, military areas, civil aviation, shipping routes, pipelines and underground cables, social, and environmental concerns. Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) is used to do the statistical analysis of wind speed and wind direction data for 20 locations in the Black Sea coastal region. WAsP results are then elaborated based on the location selection criteria for better assessment of offshore wind power utilization. The study reveals that there are limited numbers of locations for offshore wind power generation in the Black Sea region in spite of its long coastline. Moreover, there is a high need for a zoning change for Amasra shores in order to utilize high offshore wind power potential of Amasra. Our finding suggests that location selection criteria other than wind speed should definitely be considered for better assessment of the wind power potential of a region.

    Wind Power Potential Assessment of Kano, Nigeria
    (IEEE, 2017) Shehu, Gaddafi Sani; Argin, Mehmet; Kunya, Abdullah Bala; Kucuksari, Sadik
    This paper investigates wind power potential assessment of Kano, located at North-Western region of Nigeria where the wind is highly variable and energy demand is high. Weibull probability density function is used to analyze Kano wind speed data obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). The analysis shows that average monthly wind power density of Kano varies from 213.913 W/m(2) to 735.925 W/m(2). The study also revealed that Kano has seasonal average wind power density of 471.941 W/m(2) for dry seasons and 461.450 W/m(2) for rainy seasons. The annual power density ranges from 297.481 W/m(2) to 830.801 W/m(2). The most probable wind speed (V-mp) and maximum energy carrying wind speed (V-maxE) monthly and annually values are found for dry and rainy seasons. Seasonal conditions are considered as well. All of the results show that Kano clearly falls under the highest class of 7 according to wind power density classes.
