Structural Aspects

Urban wind energy research is crucial for the success or failure of wind turbines installed in the built environment. Research in this field is fragmented into various research groups working on different topics in isolation with seemingly few efforts of integrating the various fields. This review aims at highlighting the synergies between the various advances, particularly in aerodynamics, but also in other areas. Past and current work has been focused on establishing reliable wind statistics at the site of interest. Advances in building aerodynamics have provided new insight on the local flow occurring at the rotor location. An outlook toward future research and the need to treat the different flow scales in a holistic manner is emphasized given also the recent advances in rotor aerodynamics related to the effect of flow skewness and turbulence. This will shed light on the critical issues that need to be addressed by scientists in order to make urban wind energy viable for decentralized generation. Various other present challenges are discussed briefly including structural aspects, noise emissions, economics and visual impact. Research in this field should be the guidepost for more targeted certification standards, in an effort to regularize the small wind energy market.

The advancement of wind energy farms in the developed part of the world has dramatically reduced the cost of wind energy turbine systems down to a competitive price and has contributed to a reduction in global warming, which affects the worldwide population. The renewed interest in a sustainable, avoidable, and reliable energy system has contributed to the actions of the federal government of Nigeria regarding renewable energy systems. Many projects have been completed using solar energy in rural communities as well as with government higher institutions of learning, while little attention has been on wind energy, except for the 10 MW land base in a village in the Kastina State. In this study, the stages of development were itemized in regard to the assessment, economic analysis, and hybrid system of wind energy in Nigeria. The available reported wind speed were studied at 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 m. Recommendations were highlighted to enhance wind energy research, development, and its application.
