Technical possibility assessment of creating wind power station at Soltanieh zone of Zanjan province

Due to increasing expansion of energy consumption and also the decrease and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. The presentresearch investigates suitable possibility of exploiting wind energy to create wind power stationin Soltanieh zone of Zanajn province by considering technical cases. Some researches have beencarried out on possibility assessment, measurement and comparison of power density. Intechnical possibility investigation, several turbines were investigated to calculate obtainableannual energy capacity coefficient of each turbine. Then these were compared to select the besttype of turbine. According to the results, wind turbine owned by Vestas Company, model V100,rated power of 1800 kW and capacity coefficient of 33.1% was selected as the best turbine.
