THE CLASSIFICATION OF WIND REGIMES IN IRAN
Abstract
Knowing wind energy and its features can help programmers in using this clean, free and renewable energy. Iran is located in the west wind region, and the common wind direction is from north-west to south-west in Iran. But in some regions of Iran, due to special regional conditions as well as the synoptic factors of atmosphere, the wind direction is different from the common wind direction in Iran. The wind speed is also higher than the average speed of west winds. Based on the statistics from wind speed and direction in 120 synoptic stations, Iran is divided into ten big wind classes each of which regarding windspeed and direction has its own special features during different times of year. Some of these classes are windy during the whole year, some in special periods and some others are windy at special hours of day and night and some are not windy at all.
