Assessment of wind energy potential and the economics of wind power generation in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria

This paper statistically examines wind energy potential in Jos, Nigeria using 37-year (1971–2007) wind speed data measured at 10m height subjected to 2-parameter Weibull analysis. The results showed that Jos falls under Class 7 of the International system of wind classification by recording annual v...
