Wind energy potential in NW Peloponnese—Greece

Renewable Energy, 1991, vol. 1, issue 1, 137-139

Abstract: Monthly and yearly histograms of wind speeds were constructed using hourly wind speed data of the Meteorological Station of the University of Patras for a ten year period (1973–1982). Analysis of the histograms showed that over 39% of the hourly wind speeds are greater than 3 m/s with prevailing directions 29% from the NNE-ENE sector and 31% from the SW-W sector. The wind energy potential at the 20 m height was obtained by extrapolation of data at 8.5 m using a power-law expression. The wind energy potential for the half day periods 07:00–18:00 and 19:00–06:00 LST have been estimated.
