Design of a Wind Farm in the Coastal Island Sandwip, Bangladesh

In the coastal regions of Bangladesh, villages are remotely situated, where grid connection is not economically feasible. Sandwip is such an island which is situated in a very remote area lacking electricity but with a great potential for developing electricity from wind energy. The wind speed is high enough to produce electricity throughout the year in Sandwip. This paper proposes a cost effective design of a wind farm in Sandwip, Bangladesh. The estimated energy demand is found to be 16.65MW. A location for the wind farm along with a south to north grid line is proposed.
