The annual cumulative wind speed values of Gökçeada applied to these softwares; the system characteristics, annual energy production, power and energy curves of selected wind turbines are obtained as output. The main objective is to indicate the abundant potential of wind power in Turkey.

This network is identified with numerical data; energy balance is named in general terms as a Base scenario. An indigenous Energy Model is developed for Turkey, which is available to analyze alternative scenarios in order to see their possible effects on our energy system.

This paper presents our assessment on whether it is feasible to integrate the wave energy systems into the current Turkish Energy Program. The data required for calculating the approximate wave energy densities at many sites along the Turkish coasts have been derived from “Wind and Deep Water Wave Atlas of the Turkish Coast”, MEDCOAST Publications, have been used in a wave energy project analysis, which has been conducted by using RETScreen® International, “Small Hydro” in order to find out the cost effectiveness of a wave power converter system to harness the sea power from Turkish waters having a mild climate. The technically available resource has been estimated approximately 10 TWh/year with an annual wave power between 4 and 17 kW/m. This is 7.8 % of the economically feasible potential of current Turkish hydroelectrical energy. The regions in the west of the Black Sea in the north of Istanbul Straits and off the southwestern coasts of Aegean Sea between Marmaris and Finike have been suggested as the best sites to harness the wave energy.
