Abstract
Assessing wind power capacity Evaluate the wind energy potential in Chaiyaphum Province and identify suitable locations for wind turbine installation. involves generating microscale wind maps. This study utilized collaborative atmospheric modeling combining Mesoscale Compressible Community Model (MC2) and Microscale Model (Ms-micro) with a spatial resolution of 200 m, using the atmospheric database from NCEP/FNL for 10 years. At an altitude of 150 m, the wind map data indicate that Chaiyaphum province has an average wind speed of 3.34 m/s. Locations experiencing wind speeds over 3.51 m/s are Kut Lo Subdistrict, Tha Ma Fai Wan Subdistrict, Sap Si Thong Subdistrict, Sa Phon Thong Subdistrict, and Tha Hin Non Ngam Subdistrict. Energy research determined that a 2.5 MW generates the highest power output compared to other turbines. The Kut Lo District region generated the maximum electrical energy among all places, producing 20,994 MWh/year in this investigation. The 24% capacity factor indicates the potential of wind energy for assessing the feasibility of investing in new wind power facilities in the northeastern portion of Thailand.
