“…The author used two-parameter Weibull distribution function for wind analysis and wind power density for energy generation and concluded that the site is suitable for the installation of small wind energy farm. Mostafaeipour [6] in another work conducted the feasibility study of wind potential of Yazd province of Iran. In this work, the author analyzed the 13-year wind data and used the measured data at the height of 10 m. The study suggested that the site is suitable for wind farm development.…”

Background: Pakistan is a developing nation and heavily spends on the development of conventional power plants to meet the national energy demand. The objective of this paper is to investigate wind power potential of site using wind speed, wind direction, and other meteorological data collected over a period of 1 year. This type of detailed investigation provides information of wind characteristics of potential sites and helps in selecting suitable wind turbine. Methods: The site-specific air density, wind shear, wind power density, annual energy yield, and capacity factors have been calculated at 30 and 50 m above the ground level (AGL). The Weibull parameters have been calculated using empirical (EM), maximum likelihood (MLM), modified maximum likelihood (MMLM), energy pattern (EPFM), and graphical (GM) methods to determine the other dependent parameters. The accuracies of these methods are determined using correlation coefficient (R

“…The temperature of the city varies between +40 °C in summer (due to glazing sun and deserts surrounding the city) to below 0 °C in winter (due to the shortage of any significant body of water and scarce cloud coverage) [30,34] (Figures 6-8). …”

“…With an average annual rainfall of only 60 mm, Yazd is the driest major city in Iran and also the hottest one in the center and northern parts. The temperature of the city varies between +40 • C in summer (due to glazing sun and deserts surrounding the city) to below 0 • C in winter (due to the shortage of any significant body of water and scarce cloud coverage) [30,34] (Figures 6-8). Wind-rose diagram ( Figure 7) of Yazd shows that different winds cross the city in different directions and a prevalent wind direction cannot be detected.…”

Sustainability Features of Iran’s Vernacular Architecture: A Comparative Study between the Architecture of Hot–Arid and Hot–Arid–Windy Regions

et al. 2017

Vernacular architecture has evolved over time to reflect and sustainably comply with the environmental and cultural contexts in which it exists. This kind of architecture possesses a variety of original and clever practices and technologies to satisfy various necessities imposed by context. Iran's vernacular architecture has mastered the art of adaptation to context by developing different architectures in different regions of the country. Despite their different appearances, these architectures follow the same logic in spirit: sustainable adaptation to context. This original research work surveys this logic in two regions, one hot-arid and the other hot-arid-windy, in Iran (represented by the city of Yazd and the region of Sistan, respectively) through a comparative study. This paper studies different elements and techniques of sustainability in these areas, reasons for their existence and the factors that have shaped them into the specific way that they are. The main elements that were studied through this survey include: fabric and orientation, sidewalks, facades, materials, entrances, courtyards, basements and cellars, porches, roofs, wind-catchers, and openings. In conclusion, links that connect different specifications of context to different aspects of construction are discovered and their role in overall character of two region's architecture is illustrated so they can be used as guidelines for future designs and constructions.

“…They reported it is one of the best locations in the world for installing wind turbine. Mostafaeipour [5] utilized wind speed data over a period of almost 13 years between 1992 and 2005 from 11 stations in Yazd province to assess the wind power potential at these sites. The results showed that most of the stations have annual average wind speed of less than 4.5 m/s which is considered as unacceptable for installation of the wind turbines.…”

There are many wind synoptic stations installed all over Iran. One of these stations in the coasts of Persian Gulf is Bardekhun station in Bushehr province. The goal of this study is to assess the wind energy potential of this region and to design a proper horizontal axis wind turbine for this site. The one-year measured hourly time-series wind speed data are extracted from measurements at a height of 10m, 30m and 40m above the ground level. The Weibull distribution gives the mean wind speed of 4.50 m/s, 5.36 m/s and 5.83 m/s and the power density per year of 125 W/m 2 , 196 W/m 2 and 253 W/m 2 respectively for these heights. According to these results, a small wind turbine can be installed in the height of 30m and 40m. A MATLAB code using the bladeelement-momentum theory has been developed to design and analyze the three-blade wind turbine rotor. After calculation of geometrical parameters of rotor blade, the rotor power coefficient versus rotor tip speed ratio is evaluated. The energy produced per year by this wind turbine using the Weibull distribution for wind speed will be 155MWh.
