An analysis of selecting proper locations for installment of wind power plant considering terrain effect

This paper presents the analysis of wind speed data of eight different sites collected from the Meteorological Department of Bangladesh by choosing the proper sites at best possible seasons of the year at different heights with the terrain effect consideration to show the prospect of utilizing the wind power by installing wind turbine effectively. This proposal is expected to make the best use of reasonable wind speed available in these sites for particular seasons of the year to extract power to contribute by reducing country´s power crisis. Again the proposed system can be of hybrid type (i.e. solar-wind or wind-tidal) to make the best use of the plant when there is not adequate wind speed to extract power from it.
