In this study, in order to achieve the wind energy potential, we have benefited the hourly data from wind velocity, direction, temperature, humidity and pressure, during the period of 1990-2008. To perform the analytical analysis, WINDOGRAPHER software was used. Results showed the average speed in Ardebil station equal to 4/7, and wind incidence percentage equal to 43%; with the stations' southwest dominant wind, and east vice-dominant wind. Reviews of all hourly analysis showed the overcome of eastern winds, but the highest energy efficiency being in the southwestern winds. With the directional inequality between the maximum reachable speed and the maximum reachable power, representing the energy manner, following from wind speed, not its direction; while the maximum energy being a function of the speed cube. According to the standard classification proposed by the International Electro Technical Commission (IEC), Average speed in Ardabil station is placed in Class 3. Comparison and analysis of the capacity factor and average power coefficients of all turbine types available in this class, indicated that the proper Turbine for the studied area are Win Wind WWD-3-120 and Vestas V112-3.0MW.
