“…Essa and Embaby (2005) performed a statistical analysis to study the monthly, annual and probability of wind speed and power at Inshas. In addition, Moreover, Essa and Mubarak (2006) identified potential sites for wind power generation through analysis of wind speed and air density variation of five years meteorological data form 18 stations located in inland and coasts of Mediterranean and Red Sea. Essa et al (2007) investigated the feasibility of wind power generation for the Red Sea and Sinai coasts using six meteorological stations: Suez, Zafarana, Quseir, Hurghada, El-Tur and Ras Benas (Essa et al, 2007).…”

Energy is a cornerstone for achieving industrial development and prosperous economy. Wind energy has the biggest share of renewable energy sector in many countries leading the way for replacing fossil fuels. Egypt, as one of the developing countries, is heading towards increasing penetration levels of wind power to face energy challenges. This strategy takes advantage of the investigated high potential of wind energy in several locations across Egypt. In order to gain most benefits and economical revenues from wind energy, a national research and development policies have to be deployed. Effective research policies enhance the capabilities of local industry for wind power technology. This review characterises current progress and categorises areas of interest for recent research of wind energy in Egypt. Accordingly, a vision for existing gaps, futuristic directions and promising areas for research is formulated.

“…In these papers different approaches based on meteorological parameters such as wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, and air pressure have been analyzed. Some of them include only the wind speed parameter in order to determine the potential of wind energy using the Weibull distribution and other methods such as cumulative semivariograms [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Other studies relate not only the wind speed parameter, but also the ambient temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure [14,15].…”

Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to climate change and the energy crisis. Wind energy projects and applications in particular have been growing recently. Meteorological parameters such as wind speed, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and air pressure directly affect wind turbine electricity generation. Understanding the relationships among these parameters is necessary to determine wind energy potential and to predict electricity generation. The current work is based on data obtained from a 1.5 kW wind turbine constructed inİstanbul Technical University's meteorological park in Turkey. A one minute time interval was used in the data analysis. In this study, upwind/downwind meteorological variables of the wind turbine rotor area were investigated and analyzed in detail. It was observed that the turbine used in this study performs better under low wind speed conditions than under high wind speed conditions. The difference in relative humidity between the upwind and downwind rotor area reached 4%. It is also important to note that, depending on wind speed, temperature differences between the upwind and downwind rotor area reached 5%. Equations for upwind/downwind variables were obtained for each meteorological parameter.

<p>Today's world requires a change in how the use of different types of energy. With declining reserves of fossil fuels for renewable energies is of course the best alternative. Among the renewable energy from the wind can be considered one of the best forms of energy can be introduced. Accordingly, most countries are trying to identify areas with potential to benefit from this resource.</p> <p>The aim of this study was to assess the potential wind power in Sahand station of Iran country. Hourly measured long term wind speed data of Sahand during the period of 2000-2013 have been statistically analyzed. In this study the wind speed frequency distribution of location was found by using Weibull distribution function. The wind energy potential of the location has been studied based on the Weibull mode. The results of this study show that mean wind speed measured at 10 m above ground level is determined as 5.16 m/s for the studied period. This speed increases by, respectively, 34.78 % and 41.21 %, when it is extrapolated to 40 and 60 m hub height.</p> <div> <p>Long term seasonal wind speeds were found to be relatively higher during the period from January to September. At the other hand, higher wind speeds were observed between the period between 06:00 and 18:00 in the day. These periods feet well with annual and daily periods of maximum demand of electricity, respectively. </p> </div> <p> </p>
