Projek ini mengkaji potensi tenaga angin di Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Elektrik dan Elektronik (PPKEE). Data kelajuan angin mengikut jam diperolehi daripada Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (JMM) untuk tahun 2013 dari tempat pengumpulan di Bayan Lepas (latitud 5° 10’ 11.7” U, longitud 100° 28’ 44.7” T ). PPKEE terletak di Nibong Tebal kira-kira 42 km dari tempat JMM. Data voltan dan arus di PPKEE juga diambil daripada makmal kuasa bagi bulan April 2015 untuk mengira kelajuan angin. Data JMM dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan kedua-dua taburan Weibull dan Rayleigh. Kedua-dua taburan dikaji untuk memberi satu gambaran tentang ciri-ciri angin di PPKEE. Dua model turbin, Honeywell WT6500 dan 2 kW penjana angin dikaji untuk menentukan potensi penjanaan tenaga angin. Adalah didapati purata kelajuan angin tahunan di PPKEE ialah 1.9 ms-1 dan arah angin lazimnya dari arah utara (U), barat laut (BL) dan selatan (S). Purata ketumpatan kuasa angin (KKA) tahunan adalah 17.13 Wm-2, manakala purata ketumpatan tenaga angin (KTA) tahunan ialah 613.09 kWj dan 543.08 kWj daripada kedua-dua model turbin angin dengan menggunakan nilai yang sama dari tahunan purata KTA. Tapak sukatan angin didapati berada pada Kelas 1 mengikut Sistem Klasifikasi Angin Antarabangsa dan ini menunjukkan bahawa angin turbin berskala kecil (0 – 200 Wm-2) berpotensi digunakan di USM Kampus Kejuruteraan.

This project study wind energy potential at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (SEEE). Hourly wind speed data are obtained from the Malaysian Meteorology Department (MMD) for the year 2013 from the collection venue at Bayan Lepas (latitude 5° 10’ 11.7” N, longitudes 100° 28’ 44.7” E). SEEE is located at Nibong Tebal about 42 km from the MMD collection venue. Measured voltage and current data at SEEE are also collected from the power laboratory for the month of April 2015 to calculate wind speed. The data from MMD is statistically analyzed using both the Weibull and Rayleigh distributions. Both distributions are investigated to give an overview of the wind characteristic at SEEE. Two models of wind turbine, Honeywell WT6500 and 2 kW wind generator are investigated to determine the potential of wind energy generation. It is found that the annual mean wind speed in SEEE is 1.9 ms-1 and the wind direction is prevailing from north (N), northwest (NW) and south (S) directions. The annual actual mean wind power density (WPD) is 17.13 Wm-2, while the annual actual mean wind energy density (WED) are 613.09 kWh and 543.08 kWh from the two models of wind turbines by using same value from annual mean WPD. The site falls under Class 1 of the International System Wind Classification indicating that small scale wind turbine generators (0 – 200 Wm-2) have potential in USM Engineering Campus.
