THE ISSUES OF PRODUCING ELECTRIC POWER FROM THE WIND RESOURCES IN JIZZAKH REGION

A crucial factor in the development, siting, and operation of a wind farm is the ability to assess and characterize available wind resources. The Wind Program supports efforts to accurately define, measure, and forecast the nation's land-based and offshore wind resources. More accurate prediction and measurement of wind speed and direction allow wind farms to supply clean, renewable power to businesses and homeowners at lower costs. The program is leading a portfolio of wind integration, transmission, and resource assessment and characterization projects that will help the industry understand how to reliably integrate large quantities of wind energy into system operations, as well as develop capabilities that will enable these new wind installations to actively improve the quality of electric grid. Also there are some opportunities to develop wind energetic resources in Uzbekistan. For example, in Jizzakh region. In the article, the importance of wind energetics and its perspective in the developed countries are considered. There is a large wind source in the plain and mountainous relief of Jizzakh region, and because of some barriers the speed of the wind declines to 2.1-2.5 m/s is noted. Overall, it is noted that there are numerous perspective areas to develop the wind energies.
