Wind profile characteristics and turbine performance analysis in Kano, north-western Nigeria

Wind profile characteristics and turbine performance analysis in Kano, north-western Nigeria

This study analyzed the electricity generation potential from wind at Kano, Nigeria (12.05°N; 08.2°E; altitude 472.5 m; air density 1.1705 kg/m3). Twenty one years (1987 to 2007) monthly mean wind speed data at a height of 10 m were assessed from the Nigeria Meteorological Department, Oshodi. The data were subjected to different statistical tests and also compared with the two-parameter...
