Abstract :
Wind power is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the world. The Kenyan government has a new energy policy that directs its state-owned energy system, KenGen, as well as the country’s independent power producers, to eliminate fossil fuelpowered generation. The country’s energy plan outlines how the majority of the country’s electricity will come from renewable sources at utility, commercial, industrial scale and Off-grid connections. An understanding of the characteristics of the wind is critical to all aspects of wind energy generation, from the identification of suitable sites to predictions of the economic viability of wind farm projects to the design of wind turbines themselves, all is dependent on the characteristic of wind.
