摘要
Wind data basing on an analysis of the hourly mean wind speed with a 10-min time step provided by the NRG meteorological weather station in the central coast of the gulf of Tunis were used for statistical analysis to determine the wind energy characteristics. In order to identify the Weibull parameters, four different methods were applied. The investigation is focused on the determination of wind speed availability, wind rose and probability of wind power generation at different hub heights. The assessment of the electricity generation and the capacity factor for eight commercial turbines at different hub heights was made. The simulation shows the potential for wind power generation on the central coast of the gulf of Tunis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
