Abstract

This study analyzed the electricity generation potential from wind at KANO, NIGERIA (12.05oN; 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 WEIBULL probability density function. The outcome shows that the average monthly wind speed ranged from 6.6 to 9.5 m/s. Seasonally, average wind speeds ranged between 6.6 to 8.5 m/s and 7.4 to 9.5 m/s for dry (October to March) and wet (April to September) seasons, respectively. Also, estimated monthly WIND POWER ranged between 3.6 and 12.5 MWh/m2. The most probable and maximum energy carrying wind speeds were also determined and the two parameters of the WEIBULL statistics were found to lie between 2.1 £ k £ 4.9 and 7.3 £ c £ 10.7, respectively. These results indicate that wind speeds at KANO may be economically viable for wind-to-electricity at and above the height of 10 m. In addition, five practical turbine models were assessed for the site's wind profile, with results suggesting strong economic viability.
