FEASIBILITY OF OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION IN PERSIAN GULF

Offshore wind turbines are of growing interest for methods of energy supply because of Environmental sustainability and their independence from the raw materials such as oil and fossil fuels. Onshore and Offshore wind turbine technology have developed at a fast pace over the last few years with some of the world’s country however it has not used in Iran yet, Despite the rich wind resources that exist in Persian Gulf and Oman sea.In this present study the monthly wind speed in various region of Persian Gulf, have beencalculated using data provided by the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) and Winfinder according to statistical analysis. The best area where wind turbines can be installed is assessed regarding to high wind speed areas, pipelines and gas fields and relevant ship and vessel traffic
