Wind Energy Resource Assessment For Algeria

Authors : R. Maouedj . S. Bousalem . Y. Hadji . B. Benyoucef .

Abstract

The paper presents a study of the wind layer in six Algerian sites (Algiers, Oran, Tlemcen, Djelfa, Adrar and Ghardaia). It is based on the atlas of the wind ofAlgeria established by the National ojjice of the Meteorology runs 37 stations ofmeasures. The wind speed extrapo/ated to the standard height 10mfor 30m and 50m using vertical extrapolation laws. The annua/ average wind speedfor the considered sites rangesjrom 3,63 mis to 6,38 mis and mean wind power jrom 79,78 Wlm2 to 283,12 Wlm2 at standard height of 10 m. The wind speed characteristics and wind power potential ofeach station is determined using Rayleigh distribution.
