Renewable energy resources for distributed power generation in Nigeria: A review of the potential
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of renewable energy sources (biomass, solar, wind and hydro) in Nigeria has been comprehensively reviewed and a total energy potential of 697.15 TJ is estimated from crop residue, 455.80 TJ from animal waste and 442 TJ was estimated from municipal solid waste in Lagos metropolis alone.

Wind energy conversion: Recent progress and future prospects
TL;DR: The wind energy resource is very large and widely distributed, and considerable progress has been made since 1973 in the development of reliable and cost-effective wind turbines; these are now available commercially with rated outputs up to about 500 kW, and at a cost, of about $1000 per kW (peak) as mentioned in this paper.

Wind energy potential in Iraq
A.S.K. Darwish,A.A.M. Sayigh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used eleven years' wind data for nine locations inside Iraq and six outside in the neighbouring countries to calculate the potential of wind energy in Iraq, and the nine selected stations were used to draw the regional distribution of mean wind speed in Iraq.
