Investigating the Prospect of Small-Scale Wind Turbines Based on Regional Wind Velocities in Bangladesh ()
ABSTRACT
The wind turbine has the advantage of operating uninterruptedly, which
ensures a constant source of electricity. This investigation includes a clear
overview of the wind velocity, the flow direction; the amount of energy reserved, suitable regions for
wind turbine installation, etc. The feasibility and possibility of installing a
wind energy conversion system for several locations in Bangladesh are analyzed.
A brief study of wind characteristics in different locations in Bangladesh is
reported. Wind data obtained from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department
(BMD) for Mongla, Patuakhali, Kutubdia, and Bhola stations are analyzed through
wind rose, frequency distribution, and average wind velocity. The performance
of suitable small-scale wind turbines will be assessed in order to confirm the
prospect of wind turbines in Bangladesh.
