Abstract

Wind energy is now being used in almost every country of the world as an important and pollution free renewable source of energy. This study deals with the feasibility of utilizing winds in generating electricity in Iraq by using the daily average wind speed data since (1/4/2011 to 1/4/2012) for fifteen stations from different regions have been selected for this purpose and for three height (12,50,100 m)and applied it with wind turbine (3Kw). The wind power and the wind power density for the selected stations have been calculated and the maximum values at Basrah (Albrjsuh), the medium values at Baghdad (Abughraib) and the lowest values in northern region Mosul (Bashiqah). Byusing the graphical method to calculate the Weibull distribution .the highest values foe Weibull parameters at Basrah (Albrjsuh), the medium values at Baghdad (Abughraib) and the lowest values in Mosul (Bashiqah). The regression statistical analysis correlation was found for all stations and the most effective values was in at Basrah (Albrjsuh), the medium values at Baghdad (Abughraib) and the lowest values was Mosul (Bashiqah).
