Wind Energy Prospects And The Future of Bangladesh Power Sector

Abstract

Bangladesh has had serious electrical issues due to the fast depletion of petroleum reserves over the past several years. Bangladesh ought to look at additional sources of energy. The wind has the capability to resolve the problem. A fantastic and cost-free source of renewable energy is the wind. Bangladesh has a lengthy coastline where there is consistent wind throughout the year. It requires numerous trends throughout the year. The various areas of Bangladesh’s wind flow rates are studied statistically in this study. It is demonstrated that approximately BDT 11 is required per kWh of electricity generation, albeit this number will decrease for the long-run projects after calculating the expense of installing and executing wind power plants. The price contrast is explored in relation to the price of producing power in Bangladesh from various sources. Additionally, the viability of building up wind turbines in Bangladesh is investigated as well.
