Question:

Reference [192] studies wind power prospects for several locations in Saudi Arabia, among them Yenbu (Y) and Al Qaysumah (A). They report Weibull parameters measured at a height of 10 m: λY ≅ 5.9 m/s, kY ≅ 2.25; λA ≅ 5.1m/s, kA ≅ 4.38. Estimate the maximum available wind power density and the wind power class for each site at a height of 80 m assuming a roughness length z0 ≈ 2 × 10−5 (sand). Can you explain (on the basis of geography) why the winds at Yenbu are so much more variable than at Al Qaysumah?
