There has been a growing demand for energy in the province of Mazandaran in recent years. Considering the capabilities of the province to generate new energy, recognizing and consuming wind energy as a source of renewable energy should be a planning priority. In this study, a statistical analysis of daily wind speed and direction at a height of 10 m in 15 synoptic meteorological stations of Mazandaran Province over a 12-year period (2006 to 2017) was conducted to provide a preliminary estimate of the extractable energy and spatial capacity of wind flow. In addition, the characteristics of wind speed and direction, Weibull probability distribution parameters and wind power potential and density of the stations were also determined. ArcGIS interpolation method (IDW) was used to prepare the calculated layers of the average speed, speed continuity, and power density of the wind at 10, 30,.. Read More»
