Study of Wind Energy Potential in Firouzkooh

The development incompatible with environment cannot be sustainable. Today, the environment is threat by many dangers. Using renewable energy sources such as solar energy, geothermal energy and wind energy can make sustainable development in a region.
Iran has a lot of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources. Since Iran has a special geographic position, it has lot of solar and wind energy resources. Both solar and wind energy are free, renewable and adaptable with environment.
The study of 11 year wind data in Firouzkooh synoptic station shows that the production of wind power electricity and water pumping is possible in this region.
In this research, we studied the temporal distribution of wind using three – hour statistics of wind speed in Firouzkooh synoptic station. It was found that high wind speed in this region starts from February and continue to May.
