- Abstract
In this study, solar and wind energy properties and energy potentials around the Marmara Sea (North-West Turkey) are discussed from the perspective of climate change. The meteorological data of thirteen stations in this region were used. According to the results of 58 years between 1960 and 2017; temperature values of all stations increased between 0.8 and 1.7 oC. This increase is considered to be related with climate change. In this context, the importance of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind is increasing. The solar energy potential in the region is estimated to be between 1108.4 and 1488.9 kWhm-2yr-1 and the wind energy potential is between 1005.5 and 7007.9 kWhm-2yr-1 . The evaluation of these energy reserves is very important in the prevention of climatic processes caused by fossil energies.
