Utilization of Wind Power as a Renewable Energy in Asbads, Case of Iran, Sistan

Abstract:

The utilization of Renewable Energies plays the pivotal role in the environmental protection in the contemporary age, so that many countries have given the priority to such energies in their national programs, seeking the efficient methods or strategies to achieve such ambition. The study shows that the issue has been considered in Iran Plateau from the early ages. The recognition of windmills utilization experience in the eastern region of Iran and especially the southern part of Khorasan province and Sistan shows that the use of wind energy has been adapted with the daily needs of residents. Regarding the wind power transmission mechanism in the studied local windmills known as Asbad, a same mechanism in all three types of Asbads is recognizable. Based on the study main achievement, such a power transmission mechanism can be applied in the contemporary age even in other countries to replace the energies derived from the fossil fuels with the wind energy as a Renewable and Eco-friend Energy.
