إمكانية استغلال طاقة الرياح في قضاء الناصرية : دراسة في جغرافية الطاقة

Abstract EN

The relationship between the energy consumption and the environment pollution has become clearer because of exacerbation negative results like climate change which includes increase in heat degree of globe atmosphere; increase the percentage of humidity in the weather, spread the destructive tornados and floods and the other changes that are hard to be controllable.

So, it has become a must to transform from consuming fossil fuel (oil, natural gas, coal) into a substitute energy source or renewal energy source (solar energy, ebb and flow energy, biomass energy…etc).

The most suitable and cost-effective of the clean energy sources that are used in generating the electricity is the wind energy; which has had the greater impact on the human being spread over the land.

Nassiriyah city is one of the most Iraqi cities that are suffering electricity shortage from one hand, from another hand, speed and direction of the wind is accommodated to be exploited in generating electricity.

For all reasons mentioned above, the research includes a suitable methodology for the subject in hand.

This has been achieved through revealing the importance of the wind energy, how to exploit most of its characteristics and factors affecting it, in addition to analyzing the climate data concerning the daily speed and direction of the wind which is to be used in discovering the amount of electric energy produced from the measured wind (watt/cubic meter).

This has been done using the mathematical equation relating wind's speed and density (3.6 km/hour).

Also, wind energy for each direction and stating the best one of these directions in producing electric energy has been achieved.

Then, we reached to our conclusion which is choosing the best position to construct the wind-mill in study area.
