Abstract: The purpose of this survey is about to investigate wind energy potential of Celal Bayar University Muradiye Campus. The experimental system was commissioned in November 2006 and performance monitoring tests have been conducted since then. Author also undertake a case study to investigate how varying wind speeds considered affect the electricity production of the wind turbine system and to estimate a capacity factor which is defined as the ratio of the average power output to the rated output power of the generator. The collected data are quantified and illustrated in the tables, 07th of November 2006 till 09st of December 2007 for comparison purposes. According to experimental studies between 2006 and 2007 years, yearly average wind velocity is found to be 3.21Â m/s at 30Â m height and capacity factor is estimated to be 14.1% for Enercon E48 (800Â kW) wind turbine. According to these results, the mean wind speed does not provide economical electricity production from the wind energy.
