Abstract EN

in a previous search by title (surface wind characteristics and environmental effects in Northern Saudi Arabia) was to discuss wind energy based duplicates daily wind speed and efficiency of systems for small and medium capacity in a number of cities, the study has raised questions about the characteristics of wind speed in seeking and potential use in wind power.

The current study used thehourley wind speed for the period from January 2010 to February 2011, and analysed monthly wind speed at the upper and lower limits and frequency distribution categories .

study analysed the geographical distribution of wind energy produced by the turbine at 50 meters to ensure the needs of the homes in the study .

The study found that the percentage of wind speeds 5 knots and more between 7590%- of the wind speed College.

as explained, the repetitive distribution of wind speed in seeking the class 912- knots over a 4060%- of the total velocity in study.

The study resulted in the possibility of securing the 50 – 70% of annual household needs of wind-generated electricity to cities with low population densities less than 20,000 houses.

Total coverage ranges from 1133%- of the basic energy needs of homes during the months of the year to cities ranging from their homes between 20,000 and 40,000 homes.

The study calculated the energy generated by the turbine at the height of 60 meters and a feather with a radius of 40 meters and the study covered about 70% of the basic needs of cities that increase the number of homes for 40,000 homes.
