What is the best wind turbine for Bangladesh?

The ideal onshore wind turbine for Bangladesh is a turbine which is cost-efficiently build, light-weighted, reaches high altitudes with a large rotor diameter and a relative small generator to fully use the available winds, and is also resistant to typhoon winds. Such a wind turbine is not a standard product.

What type of generator is used in Bangladesh?

These small generators used in Bangladesh are of a single phase 220-240 voltage. The price of these generators is much lower in Bangladesh.

Can Bangladesh use wind resources for generating electricity?

In chapter 3 the potential of using the wind resources of Bangladesh for generating electricity is assessed. The conclusion is that the wind resources are limited. There are no long-term wind assessment studies available based on relevant heights and data with respect to wind energy.

Can wind turbines be transported in Bangladesh?

Large parts of Bangladesh are not well accessible with large trucks to transport modern wind turbine parts, due to infrastructure limitations. An advantage is however the presence of rivers that might be usable for transportation of heavy and large components.

How many wind power projects are there in Bangladesh?

There are two wind power generation projects in Bangladesh, the Muhuri Dam wind power project and the project in Kutubdia Island. Muhuri Dam Project is the first grid-connected wind plant in Bangladesh. The estimated annual production from this 4×225 kW wind plant is about 2 GWh (for an equivalent of 2,500 hours of full load/year).

Where to install 15 MW wind power plant in Bangladesh?

Steps have been taken to install a 15 MW Wind Power Plant across the coastal regions of Bangladesh after 1 year Wind Resources Assessment in Muhuri Dam Area of Feni, Mognamaghat of Cox’sbazar, Parky Beach of Anwara in Chittagong, Kepupara of Borguna and Kuakata of Patuakhali.
