Abstract

The wind energy potentials in Balochistan, Pakistan are examined using 3-hourly wind data from 16 stations scattered all over the province. The speed duration and frequency curves for each observatory are represented graphically, to read the extreme wind speed and total number of hours for a particular wind speed every year. Annual mean wind speed for a period of 5 years, energy and power are determined for each location; the mean wind speed ranging from 1 to 1.8 m/s and 2 to 3.2 m/s for different locations are mentioned against each station in Table 1. The analysis of this data indicates that the wind energy potentials in some locations are very high. These high potential areas are more useful and suitable for the use of wind energy for windmills and electricity for light for scattered population.
