Wind Power Forecasting via Deep Learning Methods
Published in Jacqueline A. Stagner, David S-K. Ting, Green Energy and Infrastructure, 2020
According to current data, wind power in Turkey in 2019 constitutes 7.40% of the total energy produced and reached about 7,615 MWh. Official records have shown that there are 3,155 turbines and 183 wind farms all around the country. As Figure 7.3 illustrates, wind energy power capacity is constantly increasing in Turkey (Turkish Wind Energy Association, 2019).

The identification of the optimum amount of energy production based on reliable data and also the selection of the right installation site significantly affect the technical and economical success of the WPPs. Selecting the most suitable locations for WPP installation is also of utmost importance to the enhancement of the efficiency of WPP projects (Can 2019). It is essential to install WPPs in areas where the wind blows regularly and constantly. The data on average and hourly wind speeds of areas where the WPPs are likely to be installed are in general received from meteorology stations. Wind atlases are utilized in the planning of the installation of WPPs. However, the wind atlas is not a sufficient tool alone for the selection of the best WPP installation sites. It is necessary to perform special studies and have meticulous measurements prior to the selection of plant sites (Acar and Doğan 2008). Guerri et al. (2020) studied different power density distributions based on the analysis of the measured wind speeds in Algeria. Aras (2003) conducted research on the wind power potential of Turkey, its uses and utilization. Sözen et al. (2015) explored the location selection for WPPs in 34 cities in Turkey. Ogulata (2003) stressed the importance of solar and wind power potential in Turkey. Önal and Yarbay (2010) highlighted the growing need for the utilization of wind power at an accelerated rate in Turkey. Hepbasli and Ozgener (2004) were optimistic about the wind power potential of Turkey and argued that there was an upward trend in the use of wind power in Turkey. Demirbaş and Bakiş (2004) asserted that wind turbines had the best sales prospects in Turkey. Ağbulut (2019) emphasized that new electricity generation plants were built with a view to reducing the energy dependency of Turkey.
