In this section, wind resources at three sites of the 120-m wind
masts within the central region of Thailand are presented by
applying a statistical analysis to one-year wind measurement
data. This study is to investigate wind energy potential at a high
level since average wind speed is generally quite low in many
accessible regions of Thailand. Fig. 3 shows plots of monthly mean
wind speeds at all the sites of wind masts S1, S2, and S3 as discussed
in Location of wind masts and wind measurements.
There are plateau areas at sites S1 and S2, but a town-terrain area
at site S3.
