- Abstract
In this paper, wind energy potential in Sarajevo area, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was analyzed statistically. The analysis of wind energy potential was performed based on measured wind data in a one-year period from 1 January to 31 December 2019. Measured data were obtained on the basis of a meteorological station installed on the roof of the building of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Sarajevo at 30 m height. Measured wind characteristics were statistically analyzed using the Weibull and Rayleigh distribution functions. The Weibull parameters were obtained using two methods, the energy pattern factor method and the maximum likelihood method, and both methods were used to find the Weibull parameters and the wind power density. The results of this investigation showed that the analyzed place falls under Class 1 of the international system of wind classification as the mean annual wind velocity recorded in the analyzed area was 1.215 m/s and the corresponding annual mean power density was estimated to be 6.7 W/m2 at 30 m height. The results show that the available wind energy potential to generate electricity in Sarajevo is low and wind power cannot be used to meet the energy needs in that region.
