Özet:

 Energy resources in the world are depleting rapidly. For this reason, the search for new energy sources in the world is increasing rapidly. The potential to generate large amounts of energy from sea currents has made this source attractive. In this study, the energy potential of the currents 20 meters below the sea surface in the Silifke region in the Mediterranean was investigated. Sea current data obtained from meteorological buoy measurements were used. In addition, statistical analyzes were performed using Weibull and Rayleigh models in this study. It has been found that using the Weibull probability distribution facilitates the analysis of sea current velocity and also predicts the power density with high accuracy. Finally, this article has proven that this station has reasonable offshore power potential and can be used for the installation of sea current energy turbines. The sea current power density value at this station was found to be 46.56 Wm2 at a depth of 20 m. It is expected that the findings of this research will help us to see the amount of energy that will be obtained from the sea current from this station and to help us understand the marine hydrodynamics of this station.

 Dünyada enerji kaynakları hızla tükenmektedir. Bu nedenle Dünyada yeni enerji kaynak arayışları hızla artmaktadır. Deniz akıntılarından yüksek miktarda enerji sağlama potansiyeli, bu kaynağı cazip hale getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Akdenizde yer alan Silifke bölgesinde, deniz yüzeyinden 20 metre altındaki akıntıların enerji potansiyeli incelenmiştir. Meteorolojik şamandıra ölçümlerinden elde edilen deniz akıntısı verileri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada, Weibull ve Rayleigh modelleri kullanılarak istatistiksel analizler de yapılmıştır. Weibull olasılık dağılımı kullanmanın deniz akıntı hızı analizini kolaylaştırdığı, ayrıca güç yoğunluğunu yüksek doğrulukla tahmin ettiği görülmüştür. Son olarak, bu makale, bu istasyonun makul bir deniz akıntı gücü potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ve deniz akıntısı enerji türbinlerinin kurulumu için kullanılabileceğini kanıtlamıştır. Bu istasyonda deniz akıntısı güç yoğunluğu değeri 20 m derinlikte 46,56 Wm2 olarak bulunmuştur. Bu araştırmanın bulgularının, bu istasyondan deniz akıntısından elde edilecek enerji miktarını görmemize ve buranın deniz hidrodinamiğini anlamamıza yardımcı olması beklenmektedir.
