Abstract:

The Red Sea coast enjoys high values of wind speed and moderate values of solar radiation. Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) has been used to analyze the wind data at Tokar, Free Zone and Port Sudan. The power densities at the three sites,at 50 m height,are 584, 288 and 300 W/m2, respectively. Both solar and wind can be utilized to supply electricity to that area.
