Oahu wind power survey, first report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6302749
A wind power survey has been conducted on Oahu since summer 1975. At seventeen potentially windy sites, calibrated anemometers and wind vanes were installed and recordings made on computer-processable magnetic tape cassettes. From monthly mean wind speeds--normalized by comparing with Honolulu Airport means winds--it was concluded that about 23 mi/hr represented the highest average annual wind speed likely to be attained on Oahu and that the Koko Head and Kahuku areas gave the most promise for wind energy generation. Diurnal variation of the wind in these areas roughly parallels diurnal variation of electric power demand.
