dc.description.abstract	The research site is located at 4°13.6′ N and 103°26.1′ E in east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Wind data has been analyzed to determine monthly wind speed and energy potential. The monthly average wind speeds ranges from 2.00 m/s to 5.20 m/s. The yearly and northeast monsoon season mean wind speed was obtained as 2.9 m/s and 3.9 m/s, respectively. The wind power of investigated site is lowest in southwest monsoon season, while it is highest in northeast monsoon season as 84.60 W/m 2 with highest wind probability value of 0.70. In conclusion, it can be said that small wind turbines could be used to provide power at this area and particularly during the northeast monsoon season one can expect more wind energy.	en_US
