“…However, Elnaggar confirmed, depending on the data for a typical meteorological year from 1991 to 2010, that the average monthly speed in Gaza at 10 m high, mostly exceeds 4 m/s, except for October and November [29]. This result is very close to Badawi's result [39]. The expected annual energy output in Gaza from a small wind turbine of 5 kW at a height of 10 m amounts to 2695 kWh.…”

This study represents an overview on the possibility of using wind energy to fulfill the increasing demand on energy and the lack of supplied energy in the Palestinian territories, by analyzing and discussing former studies in this field. All previous studies mainly depended on historical data, and data from automated meteorological stations for some of the main cities in Palestine. However, the previous researches depended on data collected between 1991 -2013, and used Weibull distribution function to analysing it. Moreover, all these studies agree about the possibility of exploiting wind energy, especially in high areas in Hebron in West Bank and Gaza city in Gaza Strip, to solve both the crisis of shortage electricity and the increase demand on energy. The highest wind energy is in Hebron, and the average month wind speed is between 3 m/s -7.5 m/s, and the lowest wind energy is in Jericho, and the wind speed there is less than 2.5 m/s in most time. Some studies pointed that wind energy potential can be more efficient by using the hybrid PV / Wind system. At the same time, it can minimize the cost of generated energy from using each system independently. However, there are many obstacles of using wind energy to generate electricity in Palestine.

“…This result corresponds to the results Elnaggar was found. Alaydi concluded that the annual highest attainable wind power potential per unit area of the wind stream is about 0.5 MWhr/m 2 /year [27,28,39]. [29].…”

“…To accentuate the importance of evaluation of wind energy potential across the scales, a few selected studies have been briefly reviewed here. Alaydi (2011) analysed the collected wind data at two sites in the Gaza strip, namely, Gaza city and Gaza international airport in Rafah city and these cities were recommended for wind energy exploitation in the Gaza strip. Ajayi et al (2011) assessed the potential viability of wind resource potential in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria for power generation based on the monthly mean wing speeds of 1987-2007 and it was concluded that Jos was a suitable site for wind farm projects of varying sizes and that MW-h to GW-h of electricity was likely to be produced per period of months, seasons and years.…”

Wind energy is one of the abundant, cheap and fast-growing renewable energy sources whose intensive extraction potential is still in immature stage in India. This study aims at the determination and evaluation of wind energy potential of three cities located at different elevations in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The historical records of wind speed, direction, temperature and pressure were collected for three South Indian cities, namely Chennai, Erode and Coimbatore over a period of 38 years (1980-2017). The mean wind power density was observed to be highest at Chennai (129 W/m2) and lowest at Erode (76 W/m2) and the corresponding mean energy content was highest for Chennai (1129 kWh/m2/year) and lowest at Erode (666 kWh/m2/year). Considering the events of high energy-carrying winds at Chennai, Erode and Coimbatore, maximum wind power density were estimated to be 185 W/m2, 190 W/m2 and 234 W/m2, respectively. The annual average net energy yield and annual average net capacity factor were selected as the representative parameters for expressing strategic wind energy potential at geographically distinct locations having significant variation in wind speed distribution. Based on the analysis, Chennai is found to be the most suitable site for wind energy production followed by Coimbatore and Erode.

“…Alaydi 154 also applied the Power Law Profile equation to estimate the wind power density extrapolated to a height of 50 m from measurements made at a height 10 m and used a two-parameter Weibull distribution model at two sites of Palestine. In the Gaza Strip, reporting an average wind speed of 4.2 m/s and maximum wind speed of 5 m/s for 60% of the time with a power density of 186.5 W/m 2 , (Form factor λ = 3.52, scale factor κ = 1.9).…”

In this study, we present a review of articles that address the state of the art in wind energy from different perspectives, specifically focusing on the criteria used for wind energy assessment and wind turbine standards, along with an overview of the technologies necessary to make reliable Wind Power-Grid penetration more efficient. Wind power dynamics are also considered from the perspective of their intermittency and the nature of wind speed variability in order to establish appropriate sampling times for measurements and monitoring. The literature discussed is representative of the technological and methodological advances dedicated to the development, adaptation and application of statistical, computational, numerical and artificial intelligence tools for an assessment of wind energy and wind power forecasting. These applications and methodologies commonly use data registers measured in very short, short, medium and long-term measurement campaigns. Finally, literature on wind power social, environmental and economic policies and trends in costs-capacity-addition and their impact are reviewed from a global perspective. In light of today’s concerns with global warming, it is essential that wind energy interact steadily on the grid with experienced operators and high automatic-control technology worldwide.
