Abstract

The objective of this work is to map the wind resource of two cities of Ndjamena and Faya located respectively in Chadian Sahara and Sahel. As well as the evaluation of the annual energy produced at an altitude of 80m or 100m by the simulation of wind data from wind speed data collected from metrological stations in the Sahara and Sahel areas respectively in the cities of Ndjamena and Faya Airport, and available for five years. In this perspective, we start with the description of the site, the determination of the various wind parameters, such as the mathematical modeling of the wind frequency distribution: Weibull distribution and the numerical simulation of the real wind data collected over five years to provide predictions on sites in two cities of Ndjamena and Faya. Then, we estimate its wind potential, its prediction of the electrical energy produced and we carry out an analysis of the wind turbulence by taking into account the obstacles surrounding near the measurement mast of Ndjamena and Faya, the topography, the roughness of the site, the density and a judicious choice of wind turbines.
