“…A previous work (Helal et al, 2012) suggested that the bird migration problem can be solved using turbines having heights either lower than 70 m or higher than 100 m. They further assessed the energy potential at height of 40 m. Another work (Ahmed Shata and Hanitsch, 2006b) assessed the energy potential at elevation of 50 and 70 m. Another study on bird migrations in this area was conducted by New & Renewable Energy Authority, NREA (2013), showing that the bird migration problem can be solved using the shutdown on demand system during the passage of birds over the area to reduce the effects of birds' collisions with the turbines. Table 1 shows the monthly average as well as the annual mean wind speed, and the main wind direction for five selected locations at 10 m heigth along the Red Sea coast: Abu Darag, Zafarana, Gabal El Zayt, Hurghada, and Ras Benas (Ahmed, 2010;Hanitsch, 2006b, 2008;Helal et al, 2012). Gulf El Suez is very windy region especially at Gabal El Zayt where the maximum wind speed occurs in August with a value greater than 10 m/s and it can be higher at elevations higher than 10 m. In the other locations (Abu Darag, Zafarana, Hurghada, and Ras Benas), the maximum wind speed varies between 7.1 and 8.7 m/s.…”
