Abstract
In this presentation, wind speed, direction and frequency distribution data obtained from meteorological data are used to analyse wind energy characteristics and availability in Nigeria. The result presents the mean wind energy density estimates and the potential for application in the country. The results show that wind energy conversion systems can be used to provide energy for the rural communities of Nigeria and that it can be used in the effort to check rural to urban migration.
