Abstract
This review paper evaluates the current status of the Nigeria wind energy sector to identify the available Wind Energy Potential, Installed Wind Energy Capacity and Renewable Energy Policies in a bid to provide accurate information to aid the exploration and exploitation of wind energy across Nigeria. Consequently, the huge expanse between the wind energy Potential across Cities in Nigeria, the poor numbers of installed wind capacity and Nigeria’s Renewable Energy policies show low interest in Wind Energy in comparison to other RE sources. All this calls for further investment in the Nigerian wind energy sector
期刊介绍:
Having been in continuous publication since 1977, Wind Engineering is the oldest and most authoritative English language journal devoted entirely to the technology of wind energy. Under the direction of a distinguished editor and editorial board, Wind Engineering appears bimonthly with fully refereed contributions from active figures in the field, book notices, and summaries of the more interesting papers from other sources. Papers are published in Wind Engineering on: the aerodynamics of rotors and blades; machine subsystems and components; design; test programmes; power generation and transmission; measuring and recording techniques; installations and applications; and economic, environmental and legal aspects.
