Which are the best sites for wind energy development in Uzbekistan?It is observed that Nukus, Kungrad, Ak Bajtal, and Buhara are the best sites for wind energy development in Uzbekistan. The study is expected to aid policymakers, designers and investors in decision-making regarding the development and deployment of wind energy technology as a future power source in the country. 1. Introduction.
Can wind energy be used as a power source in Uzbekistan?Interestingly, the technology of wind turbine is already matured having evolved for several decades. In this present study, hourly wind speed data of several locations in Uzbekistan was utilized in assessing the potential of wind energy as a power source in the country.
What is the average wind speed in Uzbekistan?The results show that the average annual wind speed, power density and energy production are in the range between 0.61 and 3.98 m/s, 1.74–88.55 W/m 2, and 15.27–775.72 kWh/m 2, respectively at a height of 10 m above the ground. It is observed that Nukus, Kungrad, Ak Bajtal, and Buhara are the best sites for wind energy development in Uzbekistan.
Are Uzbekistan's wind power targets realistic?Botir Khodjaev, the Central Asian country’s deputy Economy minister, said the wind power targets are realistic since developing renewable energy resources is a matter of “necessity” due to Uzbekistan’s primary fuel-energy resources composition.
How to invest in energy projects in Uzbekistan?In order to invest in any energy project, the LCOE of the project should be compatible with the electricity tariff of the country. Uzbekistan is among the cheapest countries in terms of the electricity price 0.03 USD/kWh ( Global Petrol Prices ).
Will Uzbekistan's 520 GW wind capacity satisfy 25 percent demand?The projected wind capacity of 520 GW would satisfy 25 percent of Uzbekistan’s demand for energy,” said Martina Dabo of Intec-GOPA. The ambitious Uzbek wind pursuits, some experts say, also signal the country’s cautious shift to new energy politi
