Wind energy studies:
1. Site selection:
The most suitable sites for the installation of wind power plant are determined by taking into account wind resource analysis, national constraints, transportation status and grid connection status.
2. Wind measurements for energy purposes:
The most appropriate wind measurement point(s), measurement levels and meteorological measurement parameters representing site are determined. A wind measurement station for energy purposes is installed at the determined point. An “installation report” is prepared for the wind measurement station.
Maintenance and repair works are carried out at wind measurement stations. Measured data are collected in a center via remote control, and quality/reliability tests and statistical analyses are performed.
3. Preparation technical feasibility report:
Three-dimensional digital land elevation maps of the selected site are provided. A technical feasibility report for the wind power plant is prepared with CFD-based software using the wind measurement data set.
4. Project design
Site layout and turbine micrositing are completed in accordance with;
- relevant legislation
- physical characteristics of the site
- national constraints
- investment plan
- wind characteristics.
For a project to be developed in a site, a “Pre-License Application File” is prepared in accordance with the “Electricity Market License Regulation”. In this context, administrative and technical documents are prepared.
Energy production calculation and valuation are realized for a licensed wind project or an under operation wind power plant.
5. Project management:
For wind projects that have received a pre-license, the pre-license procedures are completed and converted into a license.
For licensed wind projects, the technology type is selected and technology purchase agreements are signed.. If necessary during the licensing process, EIA, TEA, acquisition of land use rights, zoning and project approval procedures are re-done or amended.
