The use of alternative energy sources has begun to increase with the ever-increasing demand for energy. Today, with this increase, energy production is being tried to be obtained from alternative energy sources. Many companies have included the installation of large wind turbines, solar power plants as priority investment plans. However, private and legal entities lag behind large firms for wind turbines to be built with little power. Private and legal entities have difficulty in determining a roadmap for turbines to be installed with little power. In this study, the software was developed to be a guide for low power wind turbines to be installed. With the prepared software, it is tried to help the people to choose which turbine in accordance with their needs. The screen image of the prepared writing is given in Figure 1.   Turbine features of various companies on the market are embedded in the software. How many m / s of turbines can produce power is based on turbine power curves. When the turbine of any company is selected, the maximum power of turbine, pole length, rotor diameter and power curves and average cost can also be displayed. In addition, the maximum amount of power that the turbine can produce at speeds of 1-10 m / s, 11-20 m / s, 21-30 m / s can be displayed. In order to be able to use the software add-on for the turbines to be installed with little power, the average annual wind speed of the zone needs to be known. The person who will build the turbine in the software can choose itself by calculating the energy requirement and making use of the turbine curves, or according to the annual wind speed and the power to be produced, the appropriate turbine selection can be made directly in the software. The important point here is that the turbine can select the right turbine to meet its energy needs and determine the cost of the turbine to select at a later stage. With the application plug-in prepared in this study, it is thought that the private and legal persons who will perform the installation of the wind turbine with small power will be able to realize the turbine selection faster, less costly and more accurately and will give a light to the work to be done in the future.
