Abstract

Clean energy is currently one of the most important needs of mankind. So Iran is looking for clean energy, as one of the participating members in international climate change protocols. Therefore, the required wind speed for use in small domestic turbines was investigated in the northwest of Iran (East-West Azarbaijan, Ardabil, Zanjan provinces). One of the ways to produce clean energy is using of small wind turbines for the energy consumption of households. In this project, the climatic data of wind speed of NASA and the synoptic stations of the northwest of the country were studied in the period from 2010 to 2022. MERRA model data was obtained from NASA's GIOVANNI website and the analysis of these data were done in GIS program. Also, the wind speed data was obtained from the synoptic stations in the northwest of the country from the Meteorological Organization was analyzed and investigated. The required wind speed of small wind turbines was calculated by drawing tables and graphs. The wind speed was calculated 5 to 15 meters per second and at the height of 8, 10, 15, 25, 35, 40, 50 meters. Furthermore, it was calculated by existing mathematical relationships. Also very suitable, suitable and unsuitable places for installing small turbines were identified in terms of wind speed. Of course, the proper use of small turbines requires long-term studies of 30 to 50 years.
