Evaluation and validation of wind energy extension (Bahooz) in Manjil region

Development that is not environmentally friendly is not sustainable. One of the methods of sustainable development is the use of renewable energy such as wind. One of the most important sites in Iran with wind energy potential is the Manjil region. Four sites in Manjil region (Manjil, Siahpoosh, Rudbar and Herzeville) were surveyed. In this paper, wind energy potential measurement in onshore and coastal areas evaluates wind energy according to the extensions developed by the authors. The results with scientific achievements and similar software in 4 stages of wind simulation, simulation of conditions the boundary of the range will assess wind power and extractable energy. Summary of spatial fit and arrangement of turbines shows that Manjil power plant in world energy class has sufficient quality of energy production and can be compared with global sites. This site with a nominal capacity of 240 million kilowatt-hours per year is one of the largest sites in the Middle East with a capacity factor of 0.25. Siahpoosh site with a capacity of 410 million kilowatt-hours per year has a limited factor capacity of 8%. This site has a coefficient of variation of 11%, which modeling shows that the choice of 660 MW turbines is not very appropriate and practical. Therefore, it seems that the use of 500 kW turbines has a better capability than 660 turbines on this site. Based on the results, the two sites of Rudbar and Herzeville have a very proportionate factor capacity, so these two sites can be upgraded according to the installation of Class 4 and 3 turbines.
