Feasibility of installing wind turbines in Qazvin province

Case study: Jarandagh station

Abstract

In this paper Feasibility of installing wind turbines in Jarandagh station of Qazvin province is implemented. Renewable energy organization of Iran’s 12-monthed data are used for wind energy calculations. Wind velocity at 40, 30 and 10 meter height is studied firstly. Mean wind velocity on this station at mentioned height is 7.03, 6.82, 5.96 m/s respectively. Also windrose of wind blow direction is investigated. From windrose can be seen that the dominant wind direction is between north and northeast for 30m height and is between north and northwest for 37.5m height. This difference probably is that the data reported by the Renewable energy organization of Iran has problems. Annual wind mean power at 10, 30 and 40 meters height show that maximum of wind power production is on July. Also with evaluation the annual wind average power can be seen that 40m and 30m heights for installing wind turbines are suitable.
