摘要
The wind power potential was summarized using data from thirteen weather stations. The overall long term average wind speed for Oman is a moderate 3.67(s.d.=2.13) m/s yielding a potential power of 30.30 W. Wind speeds at four stations, Thumrait, Sur, Masirah and Marmul, are appreciably higher than the national average and hence these stations have a great potential for wind power utilization. More data needs to be collected for a better understanding of the wind power potential for Oman. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
