Abstract: In 1994, the Institute for Energy Technology of the University of Malta embarked upon a wind resource assessment with the primary aim of quantifying the local wind potential. This first phase of the research programme used a multi-disciplinary approach, which coupled field studies to numerical modelling procedures, in an attempt to determine wind characteristics for particular locations around the Maltese Archipelago. The Institute’s research is now focusing on multiple-level wind monitoring at two specific sites. The wind data taken at these localities is very relevant as it includes wind measurements taken at, or very close to a realistic wind turbine’s hub height. This paper will present appropriate results from both phases of the research program and strive to address issues and concerns associated with medium to large-scale wind energy conversion system installations as perceived in the local context.
