Abstract
In this paper, the recent trend of the worldwide wind energy utilisation is reviewed and the recent activities in using renewable energy sources in Iran are explained. As a case study, the wind characteristics of the province of Sistan and Baluchestan are statistically analysed. The wind characteristics such as the monthly mean wind speed and the wind power density of each station are presented. The monthly variation of the wind direction is presented and also the dominant wind direction is shown in a wind rose diagram. The values of turbulence intensity at different heights are calculated. The results show that the stations of Khash and Nosratabad are more suitable for limited off-grid utility applications. Lootak with the average annual wind power density of 388 W m−2 at the height of 40 m and constant wind direction is recommended for large-scale grid-connected wind turbines.
