An Investigation of Wind Characteristics and Techno-Economic Evaluation of Wind Energy in Nigeria

Abstract: In this study, wind characteristics and techno-economic analysis in six selected locations in the northern (Jos, Kano, Sokoto and Maiduguri) and southern (Lagos and Enugu) regions of Nigeria using wind speed data at 10m height collected over a period of seventeen years (1990-2006) were analyzed.

The wind speed data analysis shows that the site… Show more
