Abstract :Nowadays, the need for energy is increasing day by day. In order to meet this demand, renewable energy sources that have a more environmentally friendly structure than fossil-based sources come to the fore. In recent years, researchers have been paying great attention to wind energy. Because it has the many economic and environmental advantages. In particular, wind speed is very important parameter for electric energy production form wind energy. Therefore, estimation of wind speed is very important for both investors and manufacturers. A hybrid model for wind speed estimation with deep learning methods is proposed in this study. The proposed model consists two main deep learning methods insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Convolutional Neural Networks insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CNN); and Gated Recurrent Unit insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GRU););. The proposed model was applied in two case studies insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(weekly and monthly wind speed estimation);. The reliability and accuracy of the proposed model were tested by performance criteria insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MAPE, R2, RMSE);. In order to measure the success of the model, a comparison was made with 5 different deep learning methods insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CNN-LSTM, CNN-RNN, LSTM-GRU, LSTM, GRU);. It has been observed that the CNN-GRU hybrid model, which was used for the first time in the field of wind speed forecasting, achieved a high percentage of success as a result of comparisons made.
