Abstract
An objective analysis of the wind atlas map of the region of Adrar (Algeria) at a height of 10 meters above ground is essential, in order to classify these velocities according to the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) classification, and then to develop the separation velocity map. The present work is conducted in the region of Adrar to determine the monthly, seasonal, and annual energy generated by the Whisper200 wind turbine by using the Rayleigh distribution and the wind data recorded every three hours from January 1st, 1961 to December 31st, 2018. From the obtained findings, the northeast region of Adrar is a suitable region for wind applications. The surface of this area is equal to 16587 km², where two sites are located (Kaberten and Aougroute). However, the second PNL class is divided into seven zones. The wind speed in this region (2nd PNL class) is favourable for the setup of isolated wind turbines or hybrid systems. The following cities are located in this region (2nd PNL class): Adrar, Aoulef, Bordj Baji Mokthar, Timaiaouine, Regagne, and Timimoune.

Summary
The characteristic of the wind at a particular location leads to the ideal use of wind energy and the most important aspect of the assessment of wind resources is the distribution of wind speed. M. Benmedjahed et al / Iranian (Iranica) Journal of Energy and Environment 12(2): 155-160, 2021 of the country. Benmedjahed et al / Iranian (Iranica) Journal of Energy and Environment 12(2): 155-160, 2021 of the country These results are based on measurements made over short periods. Different wind maps did not take into account the topography of Algeria, they agreed that the Adrar region has good wind potentials, which makes it suitable for the installation of wind farms or isolated wind turbines. This region is very large and has a low population density. The monthly, seasonal, and annual energy generated by the Whisper200 wind turbine is determined by using the Rayleigh distribution and the wind data recorded every three hours from January 1st, 1961 to December 31st, 2018
