Assessment of wind energy potential in Nyala: South Darfur state, Sudan
Keywords:
Wind Energy, Renewable Energy, Darfur, energy consumption, environment problems, wind speeds, atmospheric pressureAbstract
Renewable energies constitute an excellent solution for both the increasing of energy consumption and environment problems. Among these energies, wind energy is very interesting, caring and attentiveness. Whereas, the wind energy is the subject of advanced research. In the development of wind turbine, the design of its different structures is very important. It will ensure: the robustness of the system, the energy efficiency, the optimal cost and the high reliability. In this paper, descriptive method was used for wind energy assessment in south Darfur state, where the wind speeds, atmospheric pressure and temperature were taken from Sudanese Meteorological Authority, statistically analyzed using statistical program as well as the seasonal distribution of wind speeds in the region. The results showed that the wind energy according to the analyzed data is too promised. The study confirmed that south Darfur state can be established wind energy farms in nowadays or in the future to generate electricity in order to solve the energy problems that the region has suffered throughout history of Sudan.
