Potential of wind hydrogen production in Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a landlocked country with low energyconsumption. Given the good potential of Afghanistan's windenergy and the fact that hydrogen is a clean fuel with long-termstorage capacity, in the present work for the first time, ۴۶ stationsin Afghanistan have been evaluated for wind hydrogenproduction. To generate wind power by Hewind ۶۰۰ kW windturbine, the constants k and c of the Weibull function have beenused and to produce hydrogen, the electrolysis method has beenused. The results show that ۴۲۲ tons of wind hydrogen is producedannually in the studied stations and Fayazabad station (۱۲۶۶۹ kgproduced hydrogen per year) and Mazar-e Sharif (۶۲۱۱ kg ofproduced hydrogen per year) are the most appropriate andinappropriate wind hydrogen production stations, respectively
