  • Abstract
    Wind speed is the fundamental parameter in the design and study the potential of wind energy at certain area. In this research, Nibong Tebal has been selected as a case study for grassland type in order to evaluate the variation and an availability of wind speed. Hellman exponential law is used which correlates the wind speed readings at two different heights. Result shows that at height of 10m a monthly average of 163.14Wh energy has been produced at Nibong Tebal.
