Abstract

Theuse of windenergythroughoutthehistoryandtheintegration of modern powersystemswithwindenergy has becomeone of themostimportantissues as it takesitsplace in today’senergysector. In this union, the variable behavior of the winds was a problem for the power systems to work in integrated with the wind energy due to the regular and continuous energy needs. These problems are tried to be minimized by some wind energy estimation models and programs.

In this study, it is aimed to provide information about wind energy models and programs that are used tomake power production estimations for scientific purposes and applications. Power estimation models offer the most common physical and statistical and hybrid methods. These models are processed by computer programs such as Wasp, Windpro, WindFarmer, Windographer, Homer, Reisreen, and Windsor.
