Abstract: In the present paper, the wind potential of Central Peloponnese in Greece has been studied and the Exergy Analysis methodology was implemented as a wind farm sitting selection tool. The wind speed of the chosen regions of Central Peloponnese was studied and correlated based on the measurements of three specific sites in the wider area using a software based prognostic model using intercomparisons of cross-predictions among these sites. The Exergy Analysis implemented in this innovative wind speed forecasting model is used to identify the actual use of energy from the existing available energy and to evaluate the proposed sites appropriate for wind farm development ending up to an accurate wind map of the area.
