Wind turbine utilization for water pumping in Jordan

This paper presents a survey of wind turbine water-pumping applications in Jordan, either by direct pumping through mechanical means, or indirectly by generating electric power to drive pumps. Up until now Jordan does not have any proven indigenous traditional energy resources such as coal, gas, or oil. Therefore, we have to look at renewable energy resources with all sincerity and concern to utilize it for multi-purpose functions such as water pumping. We recommend using wind energy to meet the energy requirements for remote villages, settlements, and farms of Jordan.
