Abstract
Abstract
In this paper the wind characteristics of seven sites in the windy regions in Libya have been analyzed, wind speed and wind direction were measured every 10 min at multiple levels for one year and half. The annual energy yield and wind direction were evaluated using the Weibull and Excel datasheet function, considering wind turbines ranging between 1500 W and 2000 W. Values of production of almost all turbines used are apparently good enough to think in three sites (Tarhuna, Derna and Al-Magrun) as a feasible site to develop a wind farm project in terms of economic parameters, in addition for approximately 2400 EqH as a reasonable value, Misalatha and Asaaba are suitable sites for a wind farm project in terms of economic parameters. On the other hand the values of EqH production is in general apparently not enough to think in Azizyah and Goterria towns, as a feasible value.
