Quantitative assessment and effective utilization of wind energy resources in global range are substantively meaningful in contemporary low-carbon energy scenarios. In order to enrich the assessment with large-scale applicability, multi-factor consideration and quantitative economic analysis, a multi-criteria assessment method for global wind energy with consideration of both environmental and economic factors (existing power grids, transportation, etc.) is proposed. Based on 18 items of basic digital data, a model is established from three dimensions of theoretical, technical and economic criteria, respectively. Global wind resources assessment is then accomplished with a spatial resolution of 500 m. The results indicate that global technical potential is 206 TW, of which 73% is from onshore wind, and around 132 TW is suitable for centralized development. Specifically, the global average development cost is 4.28 ¢/kWh, including 4.13 ¢/kWh onshore and 4.57 ¢/kWh offshore. The global distribution maps are drawn. Furthermore, combining geospatial calculation and statistical analysis, the cumulative probability distribution curves are obtained with two key indexes of capacity factor and development cost. A case study supporting a low-carbon energy transition scenario indicates the overall cost of the future wind power demand of 6.76 TW can reduce to 2.48 ¢/kWh ideally in 2035. Finally, a rationality verification method is proposed. By the case study of global built wind farms, the geographical location coincidence of the assessment results is 83%.

Increased world energy demand necessitates looking for appropriate alternatives to oil and fossil fuel. Countries encourage institutions and households to create their own photovoltaic (PV) systems to reduce spending money in electricity sectors and address environmental issues. Due to high solar radiation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the government urges people and institutions to establish PV systems as the best promising renewable energy resource in the country. This paper presents an optimal and complete design of a 300 kW PV system installed in a limited rooftop area to feed the needs of the Ministry of Electricity building, which has a high energy consumption. The design has been suggested for two scenarios in terms of adjusting the orientation angles. The available rooftop area allowed to be used is insufficient if a tilt angle of 22o is used, suggested by the designer, so the tilt angle has been adjusted from 22o to 15o to accommodate the available area and meet the required demand with a minimum shading effect. The authors of this paper propose a modified scenario “third scenario” which accommodates the available area and provides more energy than the installed “second scenario”. The proposed panel distribution and the estimated energy for all scenarios are presented in the paper. The possibility of changing tilt angles and the extent of energy production variations are also discussed. Finally, a comparative study between measured and simulated energy is included. The results show that August has the lowest percentage error, with a value of 2.7%, while the highest percentage error was noticed in November.

“…According to the study conducted by Serban et al, [23] Romania's wind potential falls into the category of "good". In a different investigation, wind speed power density and frequency distribution were computed using the Weibull distribution in nine different locations in Jordan [24]. Results showed that Irbid has the lowest wind power density, followed by Ghor Al Safi, and King Hussein Airport has the highest, followed by Queen Alia Airport.…”

The potential for free, clean, and limitless energy from renewable sources has long been recognized. However, because of a lack of thorough wind and solar maps, expertise, and public understanding of the significance of these resources in the country, Jordan continues to rely on non-renewable sources for its energy needs. The main objective of this study is to analyze the potential of solar and wind energies as renewable resources for power generation. Weibull distribution function with two parameters and the Angstrom-Prescott model, respectively, are used in this study to offer estimates of the wind and solar energy in the coastal city of Jordan, Aqaba during a five-year period. According to the assessment of wind potential, the annual means of the shape and scale parameters at 10 m for the studied station varied between (1.65 to 1.73) and (4.42 to 4.86), respectively. During the dry season, the wind speed was seen to be stronger, while during the wet season, it was seen to be slower. The maximum power density is found to be in September with values of 622.81 W/m2 and 192.74 W/m2 for the elevations 80 m and 10 m, respectively. According to the forecast for solar potential in this area, the city's global solar radiation is promising for the production of solar energy. The maximum global solar radiation is found to be 8.3 KWh/m2 in June. Results also demonstrated that Aqaba city is suitable for wind and solar power generation.
