dc.description.abstractThis paper presents a technical assessment of wind power potential for Selvilitepe site in Northern Cyprus. The wind speed data was collected for 10 min intervals between years 2007 and 2014 at this site. Weibull distribution method using 3 different algorithms called maximum likelihood, least squares and WAsP was used for the statistical analysis of the measured data. Power law exponent method was used to create diurnal and monthly averaged wind speed variations at the heights of 50 m, 80 m and 90 m. Based on the determined standard deviation of the wind speed, turbulence category of this site is calculated and categorized. Shear profile and surface roughness of this site has also been analyzed and determined. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
