Identification Of Potential Sites For Harvesting Wind Energy In The Town Of Dessie Ethiopia

To find solutions for the global energy crisis, an analysis of a helical vertical axis wind turbine was rnconducted with the consideration of renewables and energy efficiency. Dessie town, one of the towns in rnthe Amhara region, which uses different energy resources such as wood, charcoal, kerosene, animal dung, rnand hydroelectric power for heating, lighting, and transport. As the need for energy is increasing, the rnscratch for harvesting more energy sources is inevitable for cities and towns to be sustainable. This study rnwas carried out in three steps: to map windy area in the town, the realization of the analytical calculation rnof a helical wind speed turbine power output which then informed the most wind harvesting potential sites. rnSo, this study particularly aimed to address its use as the electricity supply for residential buildings or rnany other places with less ideal economic conditions. The easy and highly available mechanism using rnbasic materials is to give individuals to have a viable option on their electricity production. Finally, based rnon findings, the study recommends wind energy could be a convenient planning strategy to inhabit and to rnsupply affordable energy options for the growing urban population. The study also recommends proper rnenergy regulations concerning alternative wind energy to improve, to achieve sustainability, and for the rnefficient utilization of wind energy.
