Abstract

This paper presents a study for utilization of wind energy in Egypt at coastal and some remote desert areas. The available wind energy data at the north coast, the Red Sea coast and east of Oweinat were collected, analyzed and are presented in a form useful for wind energy study. The investigation aimed at evaluating average wind speed for the most promising sites. Moreover, the possible amount of captured energy for each site is determined. Average and r.m.s. values of power are calculated in order to determine the power form factor. These parameters at any site are essential for choosing the appropriate wind turbine. The assessment reveals that these remote sites offer sufficient wind energy for economic utilization and represent a good example for utilizing wind energy to supply a part of the energy requirements to those communities. The design of a wind chart is presented in detail. The study confirms that the Capacitor Self-Excited Induction Generator, Reluctance Generator and Permanent-Magnet Generator emerged as suitable candidates for utilizing wind energy in isolated and remote areas.
