Assessing the wind energy potential locations in province of East Azerbaijan for generate electricity

In this study, a ten minute period measuring wind speed data for year 2007 at 10 m, 30 m and 40 m heights for different places in East Azarbaijan Province of Iran, has been statistically analyzed to determine the potential of wind power generation in site of Mayan. The objective is to evaluate the most important characteristics of wind energy in the studied sites. The statistical attitudes permit us to estimate the mean wind speed, the wind speed distribution function, the mean wind power density and the wind rose in the site at three different heights. Some local phenomena are also considered in the characterization of the site.
