Analysis evaluates wind energy capacity in Bergama region, suggesting promising potential for development.

The study aims to assess the wind energy potential and capacity factor estimations for the Bergama region.
Application of the Weibull probability distribution
Utilization of wind speed data from the Global Wind Atlas
Derivation of Weibull parameters using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Capacity factor calculations based on modeled wind speeds
Mean wind speed at 100 meters is 9.44 m/s
Weibull shape factor (κ) is 1.98 and scale factor (c) is 10.33 m/s
Capacity factor range for wind facilities is between 28.6% and 38.7%
Outcomes indicate strong potential for wind power projects in the region
