Abstract

The article presents the analysis results of the wind energy potential of Ambon Island based on actual hourly average wind speeds data during the period from 2008 to 2013. Wind regime assessment of the territory includes the determination of annual average wind speed, wind frequency occurrence of different wind directions, the distribution of wind speeds during the year. Statistical calculation and analysis of meteorological data showed that the useful wind speed blowing more than 50% of the time in a year, and the average of wind power density at the height of 50 m is 128 W/m 2 , which determines good conditions for the use of wind turbines in the region.
