ResumoThe wind characteristics and the available wind energy in Bahrain has been studied. The mean long-term wind speed and its variation at a height of 10 m above ground level were found to be 4.90 and 0.823 ms{sup {minus}1} respectively. Accordingly, the annual mean wind power density is 69.2 {plus minus} 0.34 Wm{sup {minus}2}. The size of windmill needed to supply the required domestic power and the number of batteries to provide energy storage for use at a certain continuous rate of energy have been estimated.
