摘要：

The long term wind speed and direction available at Bahrain (1978-1998) have been analyzed and studied. The average annual wind speed was found to be equal to 4.7 m s(-1) which indicates the suitability-to a certain extent-of using only small size wind parks (blade diameter of not more than 2 m) to produce electricity to fulfill the deficient electrical power at day and night during summer season in Bahrain. The wind direction was found so variant which makes it unique for installation of wind parks due to limited spaces; this meets the requirement for Bahrain (area of 700 km(2)). These wind parks can be installed near the sea shores or off-shores. The extractable power was found to vary from 36 to 160 W m(-2). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
