An objective analysis of the wind atlas map of the region of Adrar (Algeria) at a height of 10 meters above ground is essential, in order to classify these velocities according to the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) classification, and then to develop the separation velocity map. The present work is conducted in the region of Adrar to determine the monthly, seasonal, and annual energy generated by the Whisper200 wind turbine by using the Rayleigh distribution and the wind data recorded every three hours from January 1st, 1961 to December 31st, 2018. From the obtained findings, the northeast region of Adrar is a suitable region for wind applications. The surface of this area is equal to 16587 km², where two sites are located (Kaberten and Aougroute). However, the second PNL class is divided into seven zones. The wind speed in this region (2nd PNL class) is favourable for the setup of isolated wind turbines or hybrid systems. The following cities are located in this region (2nd PNL class): Adrar, Aoulef, Bordj Baji Mokthar, Timaiaouine, Regagne, and Timimoune.

This paper aims to determine the wind potential in two regions of Algeria according to months, seasons, and entire years. An attempt is made to participate to the update of the wind map in this country, by using the collected hourly data during a period of more than thirty years. The Weibull function is employed to perform the wind data analysis. Two regions are considered: Ilizi and Oran, which are located in the southeast and northwest of Algeria, respectively. The values of the Weibull parameters, average power density, and mean velocity are employed to achieve the statistical analysis. At the height of 10 m from the ground, the obtained results revealed that the highest annual average rate of 6.5 m/s occurred at the city of 'Illizi'. It was also found that the city of 'Es-senia' has a middle potential of wind with an annual mean velocity of 3.5m/s. Furthermore, it was observed that the spring season is the most windy season for both regions.
