Comparative Study Of Wind Pumping Performance In Two Algerian Coastal And Saharan Regions

This work proposes to carry out a comparative study of wind pumping performances in two different zones characterized by their climatic differences. To achieve this goal, we must first quantify the energy potential of the wind in order to optimize the design of the wind pumping system, which consists of a whisper of 1KW. The available wind potential was evaluated using the OWC utility of the Atlas Wind Analysis and Application Program (WAsP software). The wind data used are measurements taken by a research team of the UDES during the whole year of 2016 for the site of bouismail and the data of ONM 2016 for Adrar. The tower height of the wind turbine is first optimized according to the height of the monomer and the pumping rate increases to meet the needs of a good irrigation field. A global modeling system, correlated to the available characteristic of each site, is carried out to estimate the flows taken from the hourly scales, the daily scales and the scales of the year. Finally, the results are compared and the recommendations given.
