Abstraa--Wind data for 20 locations in Saudi Arabia have been analysed. Monthly and annual mean wind speeds and wind powers have been determined. The latter range from 2-5 to 4.4 m s-1, and from 21.8 to 77.7 W m -2, respectively. Specific outputs from two hypothetical aerogenerators with rated wind
In this work, the weather conditions and wind power in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia over a period of 36 years (1961}1996) are studied and modelled. The study involves temperature, relative humidity, fog, wind speed, wind power and dust storms. A regression analysis is carried out by using the li
The energy potential of wind for the eastern region of Saudi Arabia is investigated based on measurements of a complete year data at a coastal location in eastern Saudi Arabia. A suitable Weibull distribution is generated and a comparison of this model is made with the Rayleigh distribution of wind
