Abstract
Wind has been proven as a cost effective and reliable energy source. Technological advancements over the last five years have placed wind energy in a firm position to compete with conventional power generation technologies. Saudi Arabia has a vast uninhabited land area as well as a long coastline, free from man made obstacles, presenting a possible wind resource. A research program is under way in the Energy Research Institute of the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (ERI-KACST) with the aim of studying the potential of wind energy in Saudi Arabia. This paper presents a full description of the equipment, instruments, site specifications and other technical needs for the wind assessment project in Saudi Arabia.
