Abstract
As part of its international commitments, Morocco has set ambitious goals to develop its capacity in electricity production from renewable energy, including wind energy. In this context, the chain "offshore" looks promising: the wind potential of Morocco is important on all coastlines; offshore wind has clear theoretical advantages over onshore wind in terms of productivity, and recent advances in offshore wind technology open short-term real possibilities. The purpose of this work is the establishment of the wind atlas of the Atlantic (site of Sidi Moussa and Foum Draa) and the Mediterranean (Straits of Gibraltar). First, a statistical study of wind measurements based on the Weibull distribution has been established, which will allow us to determine the annual average wind speeds. This allowed the establishment of a wind map of the study area. The second part of this work is devoted to the estimation of wind energy potential in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic and the delimitation of the atlas power density of the region. The results showed that the site of the Strait of Gibraltar is the windiest of the study area.
