Estimation of mean wind energy available in far north Cameroon
From wind speed data recorded over 5 years (1991-1995), as observed in the main meteorological station, a synoptical station of the observation network of the National Meteorology Service located in the far north of Cameroon, an estimation of the wind energy available has been prepared. For this use, the wind speed frequencies during the period are considered. Possible applications of this energy for this station are discussed.
