Kübra Nur Akpınar Muammer Özdemir
AbstractIntended to use of our country’s high wind energy capacity studies with support under the Renewable Energy Law, green energy investments continue. In this paper, based on this law, a cost analysis simulation program, which calculates wind energy costs according to selected location and turbine model, was developed. This program help wind power plant’s both economical and energy feasibility. In the part of financial parameters, the developed tool calculate unit facility cost, investment cost, capital expenditure, total and unit investment cost, unit energy cost and unit operational and management cost. In the power plant data part, installed power and yearly produced amount of energy is obtained according to chosen turbine model, region and turbine number.
