Research Study on Wind Energy and Its Importance in Libya

Abstract

The practice of utilizing turbines or fans to transform the movement of wind into power is known as wind energy. Local electrical firms use wind energy in the form of wind turbine fields, and homes in rural areas can receive electricity from modest turbines. Not only is wind energy a renewable energy source but it's also regarded as safe. This renewable energy source doesn't release any pollutants into the atmosphere. The world is now looking to it as a fossil fuel substitute to lessen the effects of global warming. Beginning about 1940, wind power was utilized in Libya to pump water into several oases. Libya has had significant power outages over the past ten years due to many civil conflicts and a lack of routine maintenance, which has resulted in the loss of some power plants. A wind speed measurement was done to discover the wind's potential to fix this issue. According to the data, Libya has a lot of potential for wind energy. At 40 meters in height, the average wind speed is between 6 and 7.5 m/s. It was discovered that Libya is among the nations where winds blow both frequently and regularly. The Qibli, Khamseen, and blows in the large desert are the most well-known local monsoon winds. To provide a permanent and ongoing solution to Libya's electrical outage problem, this paper highlights a portion of recent research in this area.
