TY - JOUR ID - TI - Evaluation of Wind Data Reliability by Using Logarithmic and Power Laws: A case study in Southern Iraq AU - Ahmed B. Khamees Ministry of Science and Technology, Renewable Energy Directorate, Iraq Saif F. Yaseen Ministry of Science and Technology, Renewable Energy Directorate, Iraq Khalid S. Heni Ministry of Science and Technology, Renewable Energy Directorate, PY - 2021 VL - 7 IS - 3 SP - 241 EP - 248 JO - Karbala International Journal of Modern Science مجلة كربلاء العالمية للعلوم الحديثة SN - 2405609X 24056103 AB - In this study, two sites were investigated in the southern region of Iraq: Ali AL-Gharbi and AL-Salman inMesan and AL-Muthana provinces, respectively. A theoretical extrapolation between wind speed andheight was carried out for both locations each month using the Logarithmic Law. Power Law was alsoapplied to achieve calculations of wind shear coefficient (α) by using the actual data collected from themeteorological mast installed in each site at three levels of 10 m, 30 m, and 50 m, at an interval of tenminutes. To compare the effects of each law, two laws are employed.
