| Abstract |
The generation of electricity from wind energy can reduce the fossil sources imported and carbon dioxide
emissions. The wind is free, clean, and green energy. This study aims to present a wind energy assessment
for Mukdahan site of Thailand. The wind speed at heights of 60, 90, and 120 m above ground level was
measured from January 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2017. The annual mean wind speeds were 3.59, 4.02,
and 4.51 m/s at 60, 90, and 120 m AGL, respectively. The majority of wind directions were contributed by
the monsoon for this region. The Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) was used to predict
the Annual Energy Production and Capacity Factor for five selected wind turbines in a capacity range of
0.85 − 3.30 MW. Moreover, the high-resolution wind resource map also indicated the high potential for
wind around the site. The low cut-in speed and high hub-height wind turbines such as VestasV110-2.0MW
and V126-3.3 MW can produce higher energy output, capacity factor and better cost of energy, especially
when the wind turbine site is located on the ridges and peaks of hills around the site. The best cost of
energy was 0.030 USD/kWh, which was observed for the V110 wind turbine and the second best was 0.041
USD/kWh for the V126 wind turbine, especially when considering placement on the peak of a hill. The
important data from this study can be developed for wind farm project installation and suitable wind
turbine design for the whole local region. |
