CHARACTERISTICS OF
WIND RESOURCES
Wind Energy
– Wind energy (or wind power) describes the

process by which wind is used to generate
electricity.
– Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the
wind into mechanical power.
– A generator can convert mechanical power into
electricity.

Pakistan
– Sindh coastal areas have greater wind power potential than

Balochistan coastal areas
– Potential areas cover 9700 sq.km in Sindh
– The gross wind power potential of this area is 43000 MW
– Gharo, one of the sites in Sindh where the annual mean wind speed
is estimated to be 6.86 m/s at 50 meter above ground level
– The annual power density of area is 408.6 W/m2, which means this
area is suitable for large economically viable wind farm.
– A typical life of wind turbine is 20 to 25 years

Advantages of Wind Power

Wind Power
Advantages
– Environmental
– Economic Development
– Fuel Diversity & Conservation
– Cost Stability

Environmental Benefits Economic Development

Benefits
– No air pollution – Expanding Wind Power development brings jobs to rural

– No greenhouse gasses communities
– Does not pollute water with mercury – Increased tax revenue
– No water needed for operations – Purchase of goods & services

Fuel Diversity Benefits Cost Stability Benefits
– Domestic energy source

– Flat-rate pricing
– Inexhaustible supply
– hedge against fuel price volatility risk
– Small, dispersed design
– Wind electricity is inflation-proof
– reduces supply risk
Utilization: Small Scale Utilization: Large Scale
Roof mounted turbine:

Charges a 12 volt battery
Size: about 2m in diameter
(900 watts)
Plus: People are more aware
of energy usage therefore
using less
China: about 300,000 small
scale turbines

Utilization: Large Scale

Site
Selection &
– Average output of 1 megawatt of wind power is
Utilization
equivalent to the average consumption of about
22,000 Pakistani People
-Germany is world leader with 32%
production..
The share of wind power in the Pakistan’s energy mix
increased 0.46 percentage point to 1.23% in
September 2017, government had set the target of
increasing the share of wind energy to 5% in the
total energy mix by 2030

Turbine Sites Turbine Sites: Onshore
– Site must be >10mph (4.47 m/s)

average wind speed
– Constant, even paced wind
– Cannot be located at temperatures less
than -20 degrees C

10/15/2019
Turbine Sites: Near-Shore Turbine Sites: Near-Shore
– Located in land within 3 km of shoreline and

on water within 10 km of land.
– Sea shores are a primary source of convection
from the heating and cooling of the land and
sea which gives ample wind supply.
– Air is more dense then on mountains, creating
better environment for turbines
– Issues include aesthetics, migratory
complications, aquatic habitat, etc.
Turbine Sites: Offshore Turbine Sites: Offshore
– Developed in zones about 10 km from land

– Offshore turbines are less prominent and
overall wind production is best at open sea
– Generally more expensive due to extra length
for submersion and maintenance from salt
water
– Transmission of energy is carried through
underwater cables
– Denmark supplies 25-30% of energy from
offshore wind turbines.
