Turkey has adequate wind energy potential to generate its own electricity. Together with the technological developments of wind turbine, generating electricity from wind energy is becoming increasingly common in Turkey and around the world. In this study, Turkey's wind energy potential and a small wind turbine to meet the electricity needs of a home were analysed economically. Installation height of the wind turbine is lower compared to other large turbine so wind speed can be slightly lower. Therefore smaller generator with larger wind turbine blade was scheduled to be assembled to meet the electricity needs for a house in Turkey. Cost of a system is about $ 6,576 and this system can pay for itself in 10 years.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGYArticle
