Significant knowledge of the cost and performance of wind generation technologies is also viewed that is not right or misleading. This paper fills a significant information gap because there is a lack of precise, comparable, and the latest data on the costs and performance of wind turbines in Oman.
As of this article’s writing, Oman has no industrial wind power stations, and the country’s wind turbines are mainly used for research purposes. However, this situation is changing, beginning with developing an understanding of the country’s wind power potential.
All firms reported that they usually design for wind loads. The wind loads in Oman cannot be neglected because of the relatively high daily records of wind speeds. Oman has also been severely affected twice by tropical cyclones. The main aim of the questionnaire was about the basic wind speed used in design.
