in this research paper, a 10 minute period measured wind speed data at 10 m, 30 m, and 40 m heights are presented for one of the major provinces of iran. four stations in khuzestan- abadan, hosseyneh, mahshahr, and shushtar- are analyzed to determine the potential of wind power generation in this province. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull funct...

in this paper, a new approach is proposed in order to select an optimal membership function for inputs of wind speed prediction system. then using a fuzzy method and the stochastic characteristics of wind speed in the previous year, the wind speed modeling is performed and the wind speed for the future year will be predicted. in this proposed method, the average and the standard deviation of in...

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) model was used for predicting regional average wind speed and power values in the Central Anatolian region of Turkey. In model development, longitude, latitude and altitude of wind stations and wind speed measurement height were taken as input variables, while wind speed and power values were taken as output variables for 4 different surface rou...

in the current research, wind energy potential at yazd synoptic stations, which contain wind data with 10 years statistic period and beyond, including yazd synoptic station (1976-2006), tabass (1987-2006), robate poshte badam (1992-2006), bafgh (1993-2006) and marvast (1997-2006), has been studied. wind data were obtained from the recorded data at yazd meteorology organization. the data were re...

Wind-energy production may be expanded beyond regions with high-average wind speeds (such as the Midwest U.S.A.) to sites with lower-average speeds (such as the Southeast U.S.A.) by locating favorable regional matches between natural wind-speed and energy-demand patterns. A critical component of wind-power evaluation is to incorporate wind-speed dynamics reflecting documented diurnal and season...

original article   introduction: wind-turbine noise emission and its environmental impact are considerable issues nowadays. considering the importance of the issue, the purpose of this study was to prepare noise map and wind turbines sound characteristics on the largest wind farm of iran. method: this study was carried out in two phases:1) in order to prepare the daytime sound level (ld) noise ...

Since the renewable resources of energy have become extremely important, especially wind energy, scientists have begun to modify the design of the wind turbine components, mainly rotor blades. Aerodynamic design considered a major research field related to power production of a small horizontal wind turbine, especially in low wind speed locations. This study displays an approach to the selectio...

Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...
