Feasibility assessment of wind energy prospect in Bangladesh and a proposal of 2MW wind power plant at ???Parky Saikat, Chittagong???

摘要

At present, a higher number of researches are being directed on alternative energy sources to supply power for modern life of today and the future. As the conventional sources of energy are diminishing day by day, one of the most promising sources is wind energy which can provide electrical power using wind turbines. The increase in the use of this type of energy requires greater consideration of wind speed, installation and especially the per unit cost of energy produced by wind turbines. This paper will discuss the feasibility of wind energy prospect in Bangladesh considering the wind speed at the particular representative coastal locations and also the wind turbine which can be used commercially. We also propose a 2MW wind power plant at ???Parky Saikat, Chittagong???. For which the system and cost calculation is carried out by the ???HOMER Energy??? simulation software.
