This investigated work showed the potential of wind energy in Kuwait. Another study must examine the potential of solar energy (whether photovoltaic or concentrated solar power plants). Hybrid RE plants should be considered to maximize the efficiency of RESs and reduce the negative impacts of low wind or dark hours on the power production.
In the following subsections, six economic analysis methods are used to investigate the economic feasibility of the two types of designed wind farms at the six sites in Kuwait. From an economic point of view, the best project is determined by ensuring that the cash flow or revenues are uniform during the lifetime of the project.
The most challenge in designing the proposed wind farms in Kuwait is to have the measured wind data exactly at every determined site. Kuwait elevation map and the measured wind data at Kuwait International Airport (KIA) are used in WAsP® software to generate a wind profile for each location of the six wind farms.
Kuwait is set to advance its long-awaited 4-gigawatt (GW) Shagaya solar power project, with the Request for Qualification (RFQ) for various phases scheduled for release by the end of this year, according to a senior official.
Using hourly measured wind speeds in the Kuwait International Airport over five consecutive years, this paper analyzed and estimated the performances of wind farm in six different sites in Kuwait. WAsP® software has been used to estimate the wind weather for the site that is distant from Available weather stations located at the airport.
There are mainly two sources for RE technology in Kuwait: solar and wind. This work addressed the latter. Wind in Kuwait is mostly coming from the north. Using hourly measured wind speeds in the Kuwait International Airport over five consecutive years, this paper analyzed and estimated the performances of wind farm in six different sites in Kuwait.
