| Abstract | ||
| Nowadays, wind energy is a promising solution to the energy problem, especially in remote areas. This paper provides an overview of the potential of small wind turbines in remote areas of Egypt, especially the Kharga region A further technical and economic assessment is conducted for the electricity generation with 20 different small wind turbines at different height at El-Kharga. The annual electricity generation from selected wind turbines is evaluated. The obtained data are presented and discussed investigating the net present value and the payback period analyzing the profitability of selected wind turbines. The dependence of the turbine profitability from the feed-in tariff is specifically addressed. | ||
