Randomized trial evaluates wind energy potential in Karabük Kahyalar, indicating feasibility for investment decisions.

The research aims to assess the wind energy potential and investment feasibility in Karabük Kahyalar using wind data analysis.
Analyzed wind data collected from August 2013 to June 2014 using Weibull distribution.
Applied Method of Moments (MM), Least Squares Method (LSM), and Generalized Reduced Gradient Method (GRG) for parameter optimization.
Conducted Classical and Block Bootstrap resampling analyses to validate findings against NASA POWER climatological trends.
The Nordex N100/2500 model had the lowest Cost of Energy at 0.08195 $/kWh while the Proven 15 kW micro-turbine had the highest capacity factor at 14.2%.
Statistical metrics showed GRG and MM methods provided superior alignment with observed frequency data, indicating robust modeling accuracy.
Founded on the analysis, strategic small-scale wind systems are feasible despite the low average wind speed of 3.47 m/s.
