  The modelling of wind energy conversion systems is of great importance if one intends to develop water pumping applications for a sustainable development. This paper presents a technical assessment based on the measured wind data in which we investigate the possibility of coupling piston pump, roto-dynamic pump and electric pump with wind rotors for water pumping applications. Weibull distribution is used to model the monthly mean wind speed for a location in the town of Ngaoundere. It is found that there is a good agreement between the predicted values of the mean wind speed and those obtained from data suggesting that the Weibull distribution can be used to provide accurate estimation of the mean wind speed. The mean electric power and energy are computed based on the power curves of Vestas V25 and V100. Taking into account the wind regime characteristic.. View More»
