Wind Turbines Transporting Limitations in Iraq

The global greenhouse warning and climate changes initiated to raise the alarm of the probability that human may expose to disasters. The civilized world started to search for alternatives energy. The alternative sources are solar and wind energies that available without negative effect.This book focuses on the roads suitability for transporting turbines from the loading ports to construction site. So the place that have been chosen is Nasiriya province depending on previous studies. Iraq has five ports and they were studied which leads to the result that Southern Um-Qasr port is the best choice to receive wind turbine equipments. ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and ENVI software are used for analyze the roads. The best choice for a path is, Road1 because the trucks will face 0 turns, 2 bridges that crosses over and 23 bridges that passes underneath. Using AutoCAD and ArcGIS program for studying some nodes that were including roundness to study obstacles and find the suitable solutions, in addition to find bridges slope through the study in AutoCAD program. Using ENVI program to get the bridges heights by its shadow to find the passing truck. Result- truck can pass underneath the bridges.
