The best choice for placing offshore wind farms in the Syrian territorial water


Abstract in English

As a result of the increasing demand of energy especially the electricity , all countries in the world headed towards depending on the alternative energy instead of the fossil one , one of these alternative energy is the wind energy which is generated by wind farms include a sufficient number of aerobic fans according to the required power . In Syria , We don't deepened on This alternative energy , but the ministry of electricity with meteorological drew and issued atlas of the wind in Syria. These forms are distributed in five regions on the mainland according to the energy that could be generated, without taking the Syrian territorial water and the continental shelf opposite the Syrian shores into account. So that we worked on drawing, identifying and creating an invest mental map for wind farms on the Syrian shores situating at the following locations: 1.Raas Al-Bassit، 2- Al-Snober،3- Al-Hamidieyd After monitoring the wind ,currents and the hydrodynamic effects and forces in the sea as important requirements which are taken into account for designing the foundations and bases of the offshore wind fans to choose the best places for building the offshore wind farms to give additional electrical energy , clean and friend of the environment.
