本文分析了29个气象站五年的逐时风数据，以确定阿曼风能应用的潜在位置。不同的标准，包括理论风力输出，垂直剖面，湍流和峰值需求的适应性被认为是确定潜在的位置。推导了各测站风功率密度势计算中起重要作用的空气密度和粗糙长度。由于电力需求具有季节性，本集团亦引入季节性方法以识别不同季节的风力潜力。最后，引入了一种评分方法，以便根据上述不同的因素对潜在的网站进行分类。得出的结论是，Qayroon Hyriti，Thumrait，Masirah和Rah Alhad具有很高的风力发电潜力，Qayroon Hyriti是风力发电最合适的地点。
This paper analyzes five years hourly wind data from twenty-nine weather stations to identify the potential location for wind energy applications in Oman. Different criteria including theoretical wind power output, vertical profile, turbulence and peak demand fitness were considered to identify the potential locations. Air density and roughness length, which play an important role in the calculation of the wind power density potential, were derived for each station site. Due to the seasonal power demand, a seasonal approach was also introduced to identify the wind potential on different seasons. Finally, a scoring approach was introduced in order to classify the potential sites based on the different factors mentioned above. It is concluded that Qayroon Hyriti, Thumrait, Masirah and Rah Alhad have high wind power potential and that Qayroon Hyriti is the most suitable site for wind power generation.
