Abstract: The aim of this study was to predict the wind energy content over the campus area of Izmir Institute of Technology. The wind data were collected at 10 and 30m mast heights for a period of 16 months. Mean wind speeds were 7.03 and 8.14m/s at 10 and 30m mast heights, respectively. The ‘WAsP’ and ‘WindPRO’ softwares were used for the wind statistics and energy calculations. Suitable sites were selected according to the created wind power and energy maps. Wind turbines with nominal powers between 600 and 1500kW were established for annual energy production calculations and best fitted ones were used for the micrositting.
