Abstract

This work is a contribution to the study of the feasibility of setting up a wind farm for the production of electricity in the LAGHOUAT region. This study is based on the site of El KHNEG EL HOUAITA corridor from daily data taken every 10 min and at an altitude of 10m during the period between 2012 and 2014 obtained by the auxiliary metrological station of LAGHOUAT located in the same corridor studied. Using statistical laws for the temporal characterization of wind parameters and extrapolation laws for the spatial characterization of wind speed to express the statistical estimate of the wind energy potential at different altitudes. Then the wind direction is established for the orientation of the turbo-generators in the implementation phase. Finally, the prediction of the electrical energy produced is evaluated while taking into account the choice of wind turbines and their load factors.
