As a result of rapid depletion of non-renewable energy resources, the importance of the e efficient utilization of renewable energy sources has increased all over the world and in our country in recent years. Wind has an important role in renewable energy sources with its high potential. However, compared to other renewable energy sources, wind has a spatial and temporal discontinuity characteristic so there is a need for estimating and planning of wind power generation. Wind Power Plants (WPPs) inform their wind power production forecasts for the day-ahead to an energy market and they get pro t according to correctness of their declared forecasts. So, the accuracy of estimates of power generation is very important from the economic point of view for WPP owners. In addition, forecasts must be as accurate as possible for efficient and effective administration of energy by electric transmission and distribution operators. Transmission System Operators (TSOs) regulate the energy grid of all country according to energy forecasts. Because of these factors, a reliable wind power forecast system is crucial for both WPP owners and TSOs. The accuracy of the wind power estimations is directly proportional to effective use of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data. NWP data have many parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, pressure, humidity. Data mining methods and models play an important role in order to use these parameters for wind power generation forecasts effectively. The main forecast models in the literature are grouped as physical, statistical and hybrid models. Statistical models are based on constructing a mathematical modelling between past real power data and past NWP data. In this thesis, a new statistical short term (up to 48h) wind power forecast model, namely Statistical Hybrid Wind Power Forecast Technique (SHWIP), which is based on the data mining methodologies, is presented. The main aim of the model is clustering the weather events according to most important NWP parameters for improving the accuracy of the wind power forecasts. It also combines the power forecasts obtained by from three different NWP sources and produces a hybridized final forecast. The model has been verified at Wind Power Monitoring and Forecast System for Turkey (RİTM) since June 2012 and the results of the new model are compared with well-known statistical models and physical models in the literature.

Data Mining-Based Upscaling Approach for Regional Wind Power Forecasting: Regional Statistical Hybrid Wind Power Forecast Technique (RegionalSHWIP)
Ozkan, Mehmet Baris; Karagöz, Pınar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-01-01)
With the increasing need for the energy, the importance of renewable energy sources has also been increasing. In order to include the power produced by the wind into electricity grid in a controlled manner, power prediction has an important role. To produce a reliable wind power forecast, obtaining Wind Power Plants' (WPP) power generation data in real time and constructing the power forecast model with historical production values is a desirable action plan. However, this situation may not be applicable fo...
Stochastic modelling of wind energy generation
Alişar, İbrahim; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In this thesis work, electricty generation modeling of the wind energy -one type of the renewable energy sources- is studied. The wind energy characteristics and the distribution of wind speed in a specific region is also examined. In addition, the power curves of the wind turbines are introduced and the relationship between the wind speed and wind power is explained. The generation characteristics of the wind turbines from various types of producers are also investigated. In this study, the main wind power...
Parameterization of built environment for wind resource assessment
Sakçak, Şafak; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018)
Use of wind power for energy generation in urban areas is gaining importance considering the energy consumption and environmental impact behaviors of built environments. Therefore, assessment of urban wind resource is crucial. The study of air flows in cities is also related to other concerns as natural ventilation, air contamination and pedestrian comfort. Two of primary research topics proposed in feasibility studies for urban wind energy are improvement on the understanding of urban wind flows with devel...
Preliminary Study on Site Selection For Floating Hybrid Wind And Solar Energy Systems In Turkey
Yerlikaya, Nevzat Can; Çakan, Çağatay; Başara, Ilgın; Caceoğlu, Eray; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2021-09-08)
It is well-known that even though fossil fuels are the main energy resource in Turkey, use of sustainable energy resources such as wind and solar energy has been increasing in the past years and expected to continue on this trend in the next years to come. The suitable land for land-based wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems could also be convenient for various other purposes, such as agriculture. This study aims to investigate the suitable sites for a combined floating wind and solar systems in the ...
Rethinking wind energy in its social context: conflicting perspectives and planning problems – the Karaburun experience
Özçam, Zeynep; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016)
As a result of global concerns about energy related environmental problems, the use of renewable energy resources has gained great importance. The renewables are widely recognized as an effective tool for limiting energy related emissions and a fundamental component of sustainable development. Among these, especially wind energy has considerable involvement. Due to this, major national policies intend to support wind energy and wind energy installations have also started to grow with an expanding rate. Like...
