Extraction of Wind Power at different Windy Locations in Bangladesh

Abstract

In developing country like Bangladesh, the demand of electrical energy is very higher than the available production. Wind energy is an important source of electrical power in recent years. Its main advantage comes from the fact of being a renewable and environmental-friendly energy. Bangladesh being a tropical country does have a lot of wind flow in different seasons of the year. However, there are some windy locations in which wind energy projects could be feasible. This paper studied previously collected data on the wind resources available in Bangladesh. By analyzing this data, this work has been carried out to predict if these wind energy resources are sufficient for wind power, in the hope to determine to what extent the electrical energy produced from wind is capable of satisfying the energy demands. The wind speed data used in the analysis is the real data, which is measured in selected windy locations. The simulation analyses have been performed by using Windographer.
