ABSTRACT. – Wind energy climate of the Eger region in Hungary. In our research, wind-climate of the Eger Energy Region (Hungary) is characterized by using the WAsP model. The map used for the research is a 30x30 km topographic map with 20 meters vertical resolution. For this model, the hourly wind-direction and wind-speed input data have been measured at the Eger Station, operated by the Hungarian Meteorological Service. This station is located in the center of the Region. Duration of these measured input data is 5 years. We estimated the potential wind energy in the area of the Region at different possible production altitudes. We have also examined, which parts of the Region are suitable for production of wind energy, considering the environmental regulations.
