Globally, wind energy has become one of the least-cost power sources. The Far North Region of Cameroon is credited with exploitable potential in terms of wind energy. However, the step towards harnessing the power of the wind has not yet been reached. The lack of reliable wind energy resource is additionally hindered by its inaccuracy, which makes the development of reliable and accurate wind atlas a very challenging task. This paper aims at developing the wind atlas of the Far North Region of Cameroon by providing location wind characteristics. Ten-year (2011-2020) wind data has been analyzed to obtain wind including wind speeds frequency, direction, power density, energy distributions and wind resource topographic maps. The Golden surfer software modeled 2D and 3D maps, while Global mapper software established topographical maps. These maps allowed selecting higher wind resource areas in which a hypothetical wind farm consisting of 100kW wind turbines was considered. Weibull density function has been considered to determine the wind power density and energy of the region. Economic evaluation and analysis of different wind turbines are presented in this paper.
