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

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
An econometric model is developed to forecast electricity consumption and study the impact of ambient temperature, expressed in terns of degree days (DDs), on consumption in the Eastem Province of Saudi Arabia. It is apparent that temperature plays an important role in the demand for electricity. Th
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
