Wind energy study and energy cost of wind electricity generation in nigeria: past and recent results and a case study for South West Nigeria

Wind energy study and energy cost of wind electricity generation in nigeria: past and recent results and a case study for South West Nigeria

~ 1c96ebee49d94a409d5a201d8529715b.200x200
The study assessed the wind energy potential of ten selected sites in the south western region of Nigeria and carried out a cost benefit analysis of wind power generation at those sites. Twenty four years’ (1987 to 2010) wind speed data at 10 m height obtained from the Nigerian meteorological agency were employed to classify the sites wind profiles for electricity generation. The energy cost...
