###### Abstract
When the installed capacity increase of the provinces between January 2021 and January 2022 is examined, Istanbul takes the lead with an increase of 350.09 MW. Yalova, Canakkale, Balikesir, Kirklareli, Bursa, and Sakarya follow Istanbul [14; 15]. The installed capacities, growth rates, and shares of the provinces in the country's capacity as of January 2021 and January 2022 are shown in Table 2. In addition, the geographical distribution of the provinces within the top twenty in terms of their installed wind power capacity in Turkey is given in Figure 1. \begin{table}

Table 1: Installed capacity and ranks of countries [8]. Wind speed and wind power potential are among the most important factors taken into consideration when establishing wind power plants. Therefore, the availability of standardized wind speed data is crucial for potential determination studies. Having up-to-date and reliable data in line with standards will enable consistent modeling procedures and comparatively reduce the effort spent on modeling [16]. The lowest (cut-in) speed required for current wind turbines to start generating electricity is generally 3 m/s [17; 18; 19]. Although wind turbines can produce energy at low speeds, wind speeds must be above a certain value for economically sustainable production. There are different studies about this subject in the literature. The exclusion value of wind speed considered in these studies varies between 5 and 7 m/s [20; 21; 22; 23; 24; 25; 26; 27]. \begin{table}
