Wind characteristics and wind energy potential in Morocco
Solar Energy, 1998Abstract The wind characteristics of 11 sites in the windy regions in Morocco have been analysed. The annual average wind speed for the considered sites ranged from 5 m/s to 10 m/s and the average power density from 100 W/m 2 to 1000 W/m 2 , which might be suitable for electrical power production by installing wind farms.

Wind speed and wind energy potential of Jordan
Solar Energy, 1987Abstract Routine wind data from 11 stations in Jordan have been analysed. Monthly average, and seasonal wind speed and average power density distributions were determined for each station. The monthly average wind speed for the two most potential sites Ras Muneef (RA) and Mafraq (MF) ranged from 3.0 to 7.4 m/sec and the average power density for ...

Abstract Wind energy is not used widely in society mainly because the wind blows only intermittently. Today, energy supply is dominated by sources which can be controlled easily to vary with demand. Now that energy prices are rising, and there is considerable interest in alternatives to fossil and nuclear fuels, wind power stands out.

Wind energy potential in Syria
Renewable Energy, 2003Abstract Both wind energy potential and the electricity that could be generated by the wind for the Syrian land have been evaluated. An appropriate computer program was especially prepared and designed to perform the required calculations, mainly the wind energy potential and the generated electricity, using the available meteorological data provided

Wind energy potential of Nigeria
Renewable Energy, 1992Abstract Wind speed data for 30 locations in Nigeria were analysed. Annual mean wind speeds and power flux densities were determined to vary from 1.5 to 4.1 m/s and 5.7 to 22.5 W/m2, respectively. The mean maximum power extractable from two hypothetical aerogenerators were determined.

Wind energy potential in Tunisia
Renewable Energy, 2008Abstract The purpose of this paper is to constitute a database for the users of the wind power. It presents the study of 17 synoptic sites distributed on all the territory of Tunisia. From the meteorological data provided by the Meteorology National Institute (INM), two statistical methods (meteorological and Weibull) are presented to evaluate the ...

Wind energy potential in Palestine
Renewable Energy, 1997Abstract Weibull parameters of the wind speed distribution function were computed for 49 weather stations in Palestine. Wind potentials in kWh/m2 yr were calculated at the above stations, then contours of wind potential were drawn. Electricity from the wind can be generated, in some locations in the West Bank, at a cost of 0.07 $/kWh.

Abstract Eleven years' wind data for nine locations inside Iraq and six outside in the neighbouring countries were used to calculate the potential of wind energy in Iraq. The nine selected stations were used to draw the regional distribution of mean wind speed in Iraq.

Wind energy potential for Oman
Renewable Energy, 2002Abstract The wind power potential was summarized using data from thirteen weather stations. The overall long term average wind speed for Oman is a moderate 3.67(s.d.=2.13) m/s yielding a potential power of 30.30 W. Wind speeds at four stations, Thumrait, Sur, Masirah and Marmul, are appreciably higher than the national average and hence these ...

Wind energy potential at Palkalainagar
Renewable Energy, 1991Abstract This paper uses the Weibull's distribution function to describe the wind speed frequency distribution at Palkalainagar (geographical co-ordinates N : 9°54′, E : 78°54′), Madurai, India using the one year data available. Weibull's parameters are used to estimate the wind data parameters for the site.
