ABSTRACT
As part of the national strategy
to further develop the wind energy sector, the eight prefectures of Upper Guinea
have been selected. Using meteorological data recorded
over thirty years (1991-2021) at a height of 20 m, we assessed wind resources in
terms of characteristic speeds, power and available energy. To this end, the Weibull
distribution method was used and the following values were obtained: 3.66 m/s for
the average speed; 1,102.83 W/m2 for the available power and 8,747.06
kWh/m2/year for the annual available energy.
KEYWORDS
Wind energy, Weibull distribution, high Guinea.
