Three sites in Egypt, differing in natural conditions but having almost the same wind characteristics are chosen for this study. Annual mean wind speed at a height of 20m above ground level ranges between 4.6 and 5.5 m/s. Daily wind-speed distribution for every month of the year is presented. Monthly average wind speeds throughout the year are also presented. The analysis shows that the yearly average of the available wind power ranges between 73 and 112 W/m sup 2 . In view of wind energy exploration for agricultural purposes, estimates are reported of the seasonal and annual duration of wind speed and of duration of the available wind power. The possibility of utilizing wind energy at the different sites using small scale wind energy conversion systems is discussed. 8 references, 14 figures, 3 tables. (ERA citation 12:029242)
