Abstract
Studies of the wind resources in Umudike community have been done over a ten-year period (1994-2003) as an assessment of economic viability. Analysis based on IEC wind speed correction report shows that the wind present in the community is economically viable from a hub height of 67m and above. From this height the wind can deliver to a wind turbine an average annual speed of 5.36 ms 1 (12 mph) and more study is both revealing informative.
