ESTIMATION OF WIND POWER POTENTIAL (ON THE EXAMPLE OF IMERETI)

Kubetsia Mzia, Kuchava Mariami, Nikolaishvili Dali A.

Abstract :

This issue is important to investigate if considering that the electrical power generated with wind engines is 2 to 3 times cheaper than that generated at thermal power plants, and as an environmental benefit, pollutes the environment less.The issues of use wind power resources are studied quite well in many countries of the world, which work to further improve the wind use.The goal of the study is to identify the wind power potential in Imereti region and to show its territorial distribution and seasonal properties.Long data of 9 weather stations were processed during the study. Based on the data of the weather stations, the empirical provision curves were drafted in the following order: the observation series for each station is classified by the annual duration hours.Putting the different–capacity wind power plants to exploitation in Imereti Region, which is rich in wind power resources, will significantly improve the sustainable operation of the power system of the country and region, particularly in the periods with low water discharge in the rivers (in the second half of autumn and winter) when the hydropower plants fail to operate even with the rated load, while this period is characterized by continuous and intense winds what allows compensating the deficit in the power generation of the HPPs.
