Renewable Energy, 1992, vol. 2, issue 1, 35-39

Abstract: Wind speed data for 30 locations in Nigeria were analysed. Annual mean wind speeds and power flux densities were determined to vary from 1.5 to 4.1 m/s and 5.7 to 22.5 W/m2, respectively. The mean maximum power extractable from two hypothetical aerogenerators were determined. The potential uses of wind energy in the country are for electricity generation and water pumping in rural areas.
