Abstract:
Understanding and harnessing renewable energy potential is imperative for developing nations in the context of climate change. However, the wind potential of Yamoussoukro, Côte d\'Ivoire, remains inadequately explored. This study employs a Longitudinal Observational Study design, acquiring data at 1-min intervals to capture the dynamic wind characteristics. The research focuses on refining ground data and estimating wind potential using a DAVIS Pro weather station with a cup anemometer for speed and a wind vane for direction. Wind speed and direction are measured in meters per second and degrees. Two distinct approaches are employed for data analysis: arithmetic and cubic averages provide representative values, and the Two-Parameter Weibull Probability Distribution Functions, determined through the method of moments, offer insights into the wind distribution pattern. The study\'s findings indicate an 8-h time slot during which the wind potential permits obtaining an annual energy production of 53,38 kW/h/m2, a valuable window of opportunity. The rainy season, particularly May, has the highest average monthly wind speed, while the dry season in December has the lowest. Furthermore, the wind rose analysis reveals that the prevailing winds blow from south to north, further highlighting the region\'s wind potential. The results affirm that Yamoussoukro harbors a moderate wind potential, aptly harnessed through Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). This discovery holds significant implications for sustainable development, highlighting the city\'s potential to transition towards a greener, more energy-efficient economy. Yamoussoukro is poised to contribute substantially to renewable energy and climate change mitigation efforts by unlocking the untapped wind energy potential.
摘要:
在气候变化的背景下,了解和利用可再生能源潜力对于发展中国家至关重要。然而,亚穆苏克罗的风潜力,科特迪瓦,仍未充分探索。这项研究采用了纵向观察研究设计,以1分钟的间隔获取数据以捕获动态风特性。该研究的重点是使用DAVISPro气象站完善地面数据并估算风势,该气象站带有杯式风速计的速度和风向标的方向。风速和风向以米/秒和度为单位测量。数据分析采用两种不同的方法:算术和立方平均值提供代表性值,和两参数威布尔概率分布函数,通过瞬间的方法确定,提供对风分布模式的见解。研究结果表明,在8小时的时间段内,风的潜力允许获得53,38kW/h/m2的年发电量,这是一个宝贵的机会之窗。雨季,尤其是五月,月平均风速最高,而12月的旱季最低。此外,玫瑰风分析显示,盛行风从南向北吹,进一步凸显了该地区的风力潜力。结果确认Yamoussoukro具有中等的风潜力,适当地利用通过垂直轴风力涡轮机(VAWT)。这一发现对可持续发展具有重要意义。突出城市向绿色过渡的潜力,更节能的经济。亚穆苏克罗准备通过释放尚未开发的风能潜力,为可再生能源和减缓气候变化的努力做出重大贡献。
