Abstract

Wind data for seven stations in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia have been analysed. The derived monthly and annual average wind speeds range from 2.4 to 6.1 m s-1 and from 3.2 to 5.3 m s-1, respectively. Maximum extractable monthly and annual average wind powers were found to vary between 14.2 and 162.5 W m-2, 31.7 and 94.6 W m-2, respectively. The possible performance of a 4-kW aerogenerator is examined.
