Abstract

The wind regimes as observed in four meteorological stations in the Yemen Arab Republic and eight meteorological stations in the Republic of Egypt are presented in the form of velocity and power duration curves as well as in the form of velocity and power frequency curves. Based on the analyzed data, the utilization of wind for power production purposes is promising particularly in the coastal stations of both countries. In the considered locations and allowing for aerodynamic imperfections and mechanical as well as electrical losses, the extracted annual amounts of wind energy (evaluated at a wind system conversion efficiency of 40%) range from 103 to 576 kW h per unit area swept by the rotor blades. The energy potentialities of the considered sites are measured by the wind energy utilization factor and presented in the form of design diagrams which can be used in determining the suitability of the considered sites for wind energy generation as well as in selecting the technical characteristics of the wind turbines.
