Evaluate the wind energy potential in Yazd

Authors

Abstract:

With population growth and progress of human society and human life needs to energy sources and also environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels, many countries are looking to use clean energy sources. Wind energy is one of them. In this paper was to evaluate the potential of wind energy in Yazd city. After review and analysis of meteorological data from 2011 to 2014 by software, the annual average wind speed at a height of 50 meters, 3.174 m/s and wind power density of 54 W/m2 was obtained show that the city of Yazd does not have good potential to exploit wind energy.

California offshore wind energy potential

This study combines multi-year mesoscale modeling results, validated using offshore buoys with highresolution bathymetry to create a wind energy resource assessment for offshore California (CA). The siting of an offshore wind farm is limited by water depth, with shallow water being generally preferable economically. Acceptable depths for offshore wind farms are divided into three categories: 20...

The Wind Energy Potential of Kurdistan, Iran

In the current work by using statistical methods and available software, the wind energy assessment of prone regions for installation of wind turbines in, Qorveh, has been investigated. Information was obtained from weather stations of Baneh, Bijar, Zarina, Saqez, Sanandaj, Qorveh, and Marivan. The monthly average and maximum of wind speed were investigated between the years 2000-2010 and the r...

Universiteit Brussel Energy modeling and air flow simulation of an ancient wind catcher in Yazd

Wind catchers (wind towers) are one component of the traditional sustainable buildings with a centralcourtyard in the hot regions of Iran. In this research a most common type of the wind tower – the foursided wind catcherwas evaluated both experimentally and numerically. The tower of the Mortazhouse in the city center of Yazd was equipped with temperature, wind, air velocity and...

Saturation wind power potential and its implications for wind energy.

Wind turbines convert kinetic to electrical energy, which returns to the atmosphere as heat to regenerate some potential and kinetic energy. As the number of wind turbines increases over large geographic regions, power extraction first increases linearly, but then converges to a saturation potential not identified previously from physical principles or turbine properties. These saturation poten...
