摘要：

Wind has been proven as a cost effective and reliable energy source. Technological advancements over the last five years have placed wind energy in a firm position to compete with conventional power generation technologies. Saudi Arabia has a vast uninhabited land area with a long coastline, free from man made obstacles, presenting a possible wind resource. A research program is under way to study the potential of wind energy in Saudi Arabia. This paper presents analysis of wind data from five selected sites as well as preliminary evaluation of the potential of wind energy.
