dc.description.abstractThe wind speed data of year 2005 to 2009 has been analysed at eleven selected locations in Peninsular Malaysia and the data at USM Engineering Campus had been used as a case study. The analytical data shows that the best potential area for wind turbine installation is at Kota Bharu where the annual mean wind speed is found to be around 3.46 m/s at 50m height. The correlation and multiple regression analysis also have been conducted and the results reveal that the pressure, temperature and humidity parameter does not influence the wind speed characteristic in Peninsular Malaysia. The techno-economic analysis has been performed using horizontal axis wind turbine, TR- 2kW and the result indicates that the maximum profit is achieved at Kota Bharu. The maximum annual energy output, AEO is calculated to be 2,584.02kWh at 50m height. The study shows that the installation of wind turbine at Kota Bharu will accumulated a net profit of RM 1,616.30 with a payback period of 17.13 years. To reduce the loss, the vertical axis with low cut in speed such as Savonius wind turbine is recommended to be installed at a better location in Malaysia.en_US
