While I was comparing capacity factor of two sites which have the same installed capacity and are located in Turkey, I had come by very interesting results in terms of showing the similarity between these two different regions.
One of the wind power plants is located in Bandirma district of Balikesir, and the other one is located in Bergama district of Izmir.
The distance between these districts are around 280 km. One of them is close to the Sea of Marmara, where the other one is close to the Aegean Sea.
Here below, you will be able to take a closer look at their production rates and capacity factors in 2010.
As it can be clearly seen from the table below, both wind power plants have similar characteristics. Graphical comparisons also verify this argument.
Comparison of characteristics of both regions can be a subject of a detailed research. I am also going to compare more wind power farms in both regions, if I will be able to find electricity productions of farms located in these districts.
