In this study wind potential investigated for the region to the east of Turkey’s Hakkari centers. The wind speed and direction information used in the study were taken from the measurement station belonging to the General Directorate of Meteorology in Hakkari Center. Data sets containing 5 year wind speed and wind direction between 2013 and 2017 taken from this measurement station were analyzed by the WASP program. The NASA SRTM data library in the WASP interface was used to create digital maps for the region. Regional barriers required for areas where wind potentials are searched and roughness maps were created using Google Maps. As a result of these analyzes, annual average wind speed value of 1.96 m / s and average power density of this region in Hakkari Center is calculated as 12 W / m2. The prevailing wind direction belonging to this region has been identified as Southwest, but it has been found that this dominant wind direction changes with great proximity to the Southeast-Northwest sector interval on the South side.

In this study, series of CFD simulation were carried out for two phase flow (free surface), three dimensional geometry and turbulent flow through the pelton turbine. The present investigation employed on the pelton turbine bucket models various splitter angle and inlet velocity values for visualizing the flow pattern and identifying the force on the bucket. In this study, Two different bucket models were applied at different inlet velocity (20, 25, 30,35and 40m/s) and four different splitter angle (55, 75,90and 115) for finding the effect of every single parameter on the effective force on the bucket. The obtained results discovered that there is a linear relationship between force and inlet velocity on the bucket. It uncovered that relationship between splitter angle and force on the bucket is linear until 90 degree after that this relationship is a non-linear.
