Abstract

The synthesis and presentation of the wind data are required to establish the wind resource climatology for an area. In this respect, wind contour maps are essential to visualize and quantify the variation of wind speed over the country. Using the average data from 59 locations, iso-wind speed contours are drawn by constructing monthly and yearly maps. The most suitable period for utilizing wind potential is May–August. During this period, the country as a whole exhibits the best wind resource potential, with an average speed of about 3 m/s. (3 m/s average wind speed is very poor for wind power generation.) The most promising regions for exploiting wind power throughout the year are the coastline, lower Sind and north-western Balochistan.
