Copyright policy )On the Possible Wind Energy Contribution for Feeding a High Altitude Smart Mini Grid
AbstractThe use of renewable energy sources to increase electricity access, especially in remote areas as high mountains, is a possible contribution to poverty reduction, climate change mitigation and improved resilience. In this paper an evaluation of the wind potential of a remote area in Nepal is performed, using CFD methods and the simulation of a micro wind turbine projected by Perugia University. With an accurate analysis of wind data and air density effects it is possible to test energy production potential in areas with high average wind speed. The overall estimated production for each turbine is an interesting result and an easily exportable contribution to the perspective of sustainable development at very high altitudes and remote areas.
