【 摘 要 】

Most of the renewable energy sources have direct or indirect link with the sun. Wind is alsoa form of solar energy. It is initiated by uneven heating of the atmospheric air by the sun, affectedfrom the topography and surface roughness of the earth's surface and rotation of the earth. The earth'sterrain, water surfaces and vegetation cover modifies wind flow patterns. Wind energy or wind powerterms describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical energy or electricity. Inview of this, there has been several studies of wind speed characteristics in different parts of the worldusing Weibull distribution and Fourier method of time series analysis. Wavelet methods invented inmid-eighties have attracted attention of Engineers, Physicists, Computer Scientists andMathematicians alike for applications purposes in diverse fields. So much so that two prominentworkers of this field Coifman and Daubechies have been given prestigious awards of U.S.A. in theyear 2000 for their contribution in this field. In the present study we apply wavelet methods andrelated software to study wind speed data of certain places in Saudi Arabia.
