The most attractive source of clean energy is the wind power; it is also a potentially valuable source of sustainable energy in the world in general and in Egypt in particular. Egypt's energy resources are limited in oil and petroleum products and it has large reserves of natural gas, the current projects are very massive. Nowadays, the increase in demand of energy of the country is mainly due to rapid expansion of industrial projects and the economic growth, particularly, in Suez Canal area and Sinai Peninsula. This study presents a realistic approximation of wind as a promising renewable source for electricity production along the coastal southern regions in Sinai Peninsula. Where an integrated analysis was made of the wind characteristics plus accurate estimation of the wind power potential per month and per season at different heights 10–50 m AGL for the selected locations along Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba at northern Red Sea namely: Ras Seder, Abu Redis, El Tor and Nabq. The average wind speed was obtained annually to be 8.6, 6.3, 5.8 and 8.0 m/s at altitude 50 m, respectively. According to the applied method, accurate estimation of the wind power density was done. The results confirmed that the two sites Ras Seder and Nabq are absolutely the best, which have annually available wind energies over 314 and 249 kWh/m2 at 50 m, respectively. Consequently, they and can be evaluated as an international regions for electric power generation by the inshore wind.

The project of installing 580 MW class inshore wind farms at the four locations has been examined and that requires due attention from the policy makers and the foreign investors. The proposed wind projects will produce 2335 GWh of electricity per year which is more than the needs of the country. The generation cost per kWh at these locations varies from 1.84 to 4.22 US cent. This expected cost of electric generation by the wind is less than the local tariff of electricity which will be produced by other ways during the financial year 2017/2018 according to the announcement the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity. In addition, this venture will reduce domestic fossil fuel consumption in Egypt and can prevent thousands of tons of carbon emissions every year which entering into the local atmosphere.

埃及西奈半岛四个地点的风能评估和发电经济学

清洁能源最有吸引力的来源是风力。在整个世界,尤其是埃及,它也是可持续能源的潜在有价值的来源。埃及的能源资源仅限于石油和石油产品,并且天然气储量很大,目前的项目非常庞大。如今,该国能源需求的增长主要归因于工业项目的迅速扩张和经济增长,特别是在苏伊士运河地区和西奈半岛。这项研究提出了一种现实的近似风,它是西奈半岛南部沿海地区电力生产的有希望的可再生资源。拉斯·塞德Ras Seder)阿布·雷迪斯Abu Redis)埃尔·托El Tor)纳布(Nabq)。在海拔50 m处,每年获得的平均风速分别为8.6 m / s,6.3 m / s,5.8 m / s和8.0 m / s。根据所采用的方法,可以准确估算风能密度。结果证实,Ras SederNabq这两个站点绝对是最好的,它们在50 m处的年可用风能分别超过314和249 kWh / m 2。因此,它们可以被评估为利用近海风发电的国际地区。

已经研究了在四个地点安装580兆瓦级近海风电场的项目,这需要政策制定者和外国投资者给予应有的重视。拟议的风能项目每年将产生2335 GWh的电力,超过该国的需求。在这些位置,每度电的发电成本从1.84美分4.22美分不等。根据埃及电力部的公告,风能发电的这一预期成本低于2017/2018财年将通过其他方式产生的当地电价。此外,该合资企业还将减少埃及的国内化石燃料消耗,并且每年可以防止数千吨的碳排放进入当地大气。
