PO429: Assessing Offshore Wind Potential in Türkiye: From Long-Term Data to In-Situ Validation
Elif Dilara Çiçek, Wind resource analyst, usens energy solutions
Abstract
In offshore wind assessments, site-specific measurements from standard-compliant met masts are often unavailable, requiring the use of global and mesoscale datasets such as the Global Wind Atlas (GWA) and EMD WRF+. However, modeling wind in coastal zones remains challenging due to complex topography, land–sea interactions, and inherent dataset biases. To address this, differences between these datasets and available mast data from nearby coastal locations were analyzed for selected offshore sites. Findings reveal that GWA effectively captures overall wind potential but generally provides optimistic results. In contrast, EMD WRF+ shows closer agreement with mast observations, delivering more conservative and reliable outputs. These insights highlight the importance of dataset selection in preliminary assessments, risk evaluation, and project bankability in offshore wind development.
