✦ Synopsis

Wind speed data for 30 locations in Nigeria were analysed. Annual mean wind speeds and power flux densities were determined to vary from 1.5 to 4.l m/s and 5.7 to 22.5 W/m 2, respectively. The mean maximum power extractable from two hypothetical aerogenerators were determined. The potential uses of wind energy in the country are for electricity generation and water pumping in rural areas.

Wind data collected at ten stations in Malaysia were analysed for wind energy potential. The data were collected over a ten-year period (1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991). The results were presented as a Weibull distribution and analysis indicated that the station at Mersin
