Study about Wind Energy Map of Arabian Gulf: Advantages and Challenges | Chapter 9 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 9

The main goals of this episode are to create wind energy map of Arabian Gulf established statistical study of long term dossier. Sustainable development is attainable by use of sustainable energy and by guaranteeing access to inexpensive, reliable, tenable, and modern strength for citizens. Wind power is the change of wind energy into a useful form of strength, such as utilizing wind turbines to make power, windmills for mechanical capacity, wind pumps for water pumping or drainage, or sails to throw ships. This paper is on the wind strength resource chance over Arabian Gulf waters, covering 2300 gridiron points. The data usable with Coastal Information System data base at Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, Kuwait, from 1979 to 2015 is secondhand. Electricity consumption in GCC nations increased expeditiously during the last three decades not only in certain terms, but still in terms of its agree total energy demand. From the dossier sources, the frequency distribution and power mass were determined. The wind power bulk was assessed by fitting the Weibull frequency distribution function to the wind speed data. The examination is conducted at elevations of 10, 30, and 50 meters. The Weibull shape limit k varies from 2.5 to 3 at the northward and central of the Arabian Gulf. The annual mean wind power bulk over Arabian Gulf Waters is the highest in the main region of the Gulf. The capacity density at 10 m, 30 m and 50 m center height varies middle 200 to 300 w/m2, 200 to 300 w/m2 and more than 300 w/m2 individually. Since the Arabian Gulf's core domain falls inside the Wind Energy Resource Atlas of the United States' Class 2 category, it is attractive to develop big wind power generation skilled at elevations of 30 or 50 meters. Since air conditioning methods utilize plenty power in the vacation, the wind power density is specifically appealing in the middle region of the Arabian Gulf (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar).
