This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in ICT Systems at the International
Hellenic University.
The dissertation tackles the problem of evaluating the wind energy potential within a
densely populated and built area. Within those limits the wind conditions present are
vastly different compared to a smooth rural area or a terrain over sea. Moreover the
measurements available from local, national weather associations or even wind atlases
concern mostly rural areas or areas near airports and of course small altitudes over the
terrain.
The purpose of the dissertation is to construct and demonstrate a model that will exploit
these data and calculate the energy potential on the top of a building within the urban
environment. An evaluation of a specific wind turbine will be done in order to be able to
draw conclusions for the financial feasibility of the installation of such a wind turbine
At this point I must thank the supervisor and professor Dr. Giannakidis for his help and
patience, during the preparation of the dissertation
