The MENA-CORDEX (the Middle East and North Africa-COordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment) wind speed data at the height of 10 m is converted to the turbine hub-height for estimating the mean wind power in the Gulf of Oman. The results show high spatial variability of the historical and future mean wind power projection. Furthermore, the impact of climate change on the mean wind power (under the representative concentration pathway 8.5, RCP8.5, scenario) is found to be less than 5%, which indicates the sustainability of wind renewable energy. Based on the wind power distribution, bathymetry, and distance from the coast, five sites are selected in the Gulf of Oman as tentative energy hotspots to provide a detailed assessment of the directional variability of wind power for the historical and future periods. Significant variability of the directional distribution of wind power is found in the five study sites, which make it imperative to optimally design wind turbines and farms to achieve the best efficiency. The findings also indicate that the main direction and magnitude of wind power in the five sites under the RCP8.5 climate change scenario will remain almost the same as those of the historical period. Overall, the sustainability of power production under climate change impacts is promising to plan for wind energy extraction in the Gulf of Oman.

将MENA-CORDEX（中东和北非协调区域降尺度实验）在10 m高度处的风速数据转换为涡轮轮毂高度，以估计阿曼湾的平均风能。结果表明，历史和未来平均风能投影具有很大的空间变异性。此外，发现气候变化对平均风能的影响（在有代表性的浓度路径8.5，RCP8.5下）小于5％，这表明风能可再生能源的可持续性。根据风能分布，测深和距海岸的距离，在阿曼湾选择了五个地点作为暂定能源热点，以详细评估历史和未来时期风能的方向变化。在五个研究地点发现了风力发电方向分布的显着变化，因此有必要对风力涡轮机和农场进行最佳设计以实现最佳效率。研究结果还表明，在RCP8.5气候变化情景下，这五个地点的风电主要方向和大小将与历史时期保持几乎相同。总体而言，在气候变化影响下电力生产的可持续性有望规划阿曼湾的风能开采。5气候变化情景将与历史时期保持几乎相同。总体而言，在气候变化影响下电力生产的可持续性有望规划阿曼湾的风能开采。5气候变化情景将与历史时期保持几乎相同。总体而言，在气候变化影响下电力生产的可持续性有望规划阿曼湾的风能开采。
