Investigation of wind energy speed and power, and its impact of sustainability: Saudi Arabia a model

Abstract

The study of wind energy is presented in six sites; Sharurah, Jeddah South, Al Wajh, Riyadh, Hafar Al Batin and Al Jouf of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is updated. The wind energy and its status are interpreted. The annual mean values of long-term for wind speeds are varied between the years 2000 and 2020. Also, the wind power density annual values are varied between the years 2006 and 2020. In addition, the speed of winds over whole the geography of KSA is researched. The distribution of percent frequency at different speeds of wind of these six sites at 12 m along two decades ago is presented that could affect on sustainability.
