Economic assessment of water pumping systems using wind energy conversion systems in the southern part of Nigeria
This study assessed the wind energy potential and the economic viability of the
water pumping systems supplied by various wind turbine models. The twoparameter
Weibull probability density function was employed to analyze the wind
speed data collected between 1971 and 2007 by the Nigerian Meteorological
Agency for seven meteorological stations, in the southern part of Nigeria, namely
Asaba,...
