Assessment of Wind Characteristics for Energy Generation

Investigation of wind characteristics and wind energy potential in Kirklareli, Turkey

“…The most common two are the Weibull and Rayleigh functions. The studies done using these functions can be found in literature [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…To evaluate the performance of the considered distributions, mean root-square error (RMSE) parameter and Chi-square (w 2 ) test are used in the study. Detailed information related to the evaluation parameters can be found in literature [8,10,17]. For the Weibull distribution function related to yearly data, RMSE value is 0.0031, while the w 2 value is 0.01.…”

Fitting Wind Speed to a Two Parameter Distribution Model Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method

“…The probability density function of gamma random variable y in combination with two parameters z and q representing the shape and scale parameters respectively is given by [10,12,19]. ( , , ) , , , , 0…”

“…In this section, we considered also a gamma distribution with shape parameter and scale parameter since it is the distribution that is widely used in real-life data sets. The probability density function of gamma random variable y in combination with two parameters z and q representing the shape and scale parameters respectively is given in equation 3, [10,19].…”

Prospects of Wind Farm Development in Algeria

“…Rehman et al [9] calculated the Weibull parameters for 10 anemometer locations in Saudi Arabia and found that the wind speed was well represented by the Weibull distribution function. With growing global awareness of the usage of clean sources of energy, wind energy in particular, a lot of work is being carried out in different parts of the world, as can be seen from [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] .…”
