This article assesses the wind energy potential at two sites in the Taza province, northeastern Morocco: Tahla and Tizi Ouasli. The analysis is based on wind speed data measured from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2022. Wind measurements were taken at heights of 50 m and 100 m above ground level. The aim of this study is to analyse the wind potential of the selected sites and assess their suitability for wind energy development. The Weibull distribution is used to determine the power density and energy output of wind turbines. The shape and scale parameters were estimated using the Energy Pattern Factor Method, with a wind speed class interval of 0.5 m/s. The statistical analysis includes the calculation of monthly mean wind speeds and the generation of wind rose diagrams. The results indicate that Tahla has the highest potential. At a height of 100 m, the average power density at this location is estimated at 197.3 W/m². Among the evaluated turbine models, the GoldWind GW 140/3.0 exhibits the highest capacity factor, making it the most economically advantageous option for both sites.

摘要

This article assesses the wind energy potential at two sites in the Taza province, northeastern Morocco: Tahla and Tizi Ouasli. The analysis is based on wind speed data measured from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2022. Wind measurements were taken at heights of 50 m and 100 m above ground level. The aim of this study is to analyse the wind potential of the selected sites and assess their suitability for wind energy development. The Weibull distribution is used to determine the power density and energy output of wind turbines. The shape and scale parameters were estimated using the Energy Pattern Factor Method, with a wind speed class interval of 0.5 m/s. The statistical analysis includes the calculation of monthly mean wind speeds and the generation of wind rose diagrams. The results indicate that Tahla has the highest potential. At a height of 100 m, the average power density at this location is estimated at 197.3 W/m². Among the evaluated turbine models, the GoldWind GW 140/3.0 exhibits the highest capacity factor, making it the most economically advantageous option for both sites.
