Investigation of wind energy and its impact on sustainability: Jordan as a model

Abstract

There are interests in renewable energy. Additionally, there is an official promoting and investing in renewable energy like wind energy especially in Jordan. Therefore, it is aimed to assess the renewable energy resources, especially wind energy with a focus on big cities; Amman, Irbid, Ma’an, Aqaba and Mafraq. The latest statistical studies along with wind speed, earth temperature and relative humidity are investigated. It is important to fix a specific method for assessing wind energy status in Jordan through employing local climate data sets for specific locations in Jordan that could affect the stability of static sustainability.
