The study presents the local values of wind shear coefficient (WSC) estimated using wind speed measurements made at 20, 30 and 40m above ground level (AGL) during November 01, 1998 and October 12, 2002. The study also includes the local values of air density calculated using temperature and...

This study presents calculated values of wind shear coefficients (WSE) using measured values of wind speed at 20, 30, and 40m above ground level (AGL), for Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The study also includes the air density estimated using measured air temperature and surface pressure and effect of...

An attempt has been made, may be first time in Saudi Arabia, to utilize power of the wind for pumping the water for remotely located inhabitants not connected with national power grid. Small turbines of 1–10kW have been chosen in conjunction with Goulds 45J model water pumps to produce energy...

The present study aims at evaluating the performance of wind speed sensors installed at different heights on a 40m tall wind mast during a period of 33 months between July 01, 2006 and April 01, 2009. The performance has been evaluated by estimating the tower distortion factor (TDF), scatter...
