Abstract:Probability distributions are used in the evaluation of wind energy potentials to describe the wind speed characteristics of the chosen location for wind farm establishment. However, the Weibull distribution that is the most chosen by wind energy modelers may likely fail to properly describe the wind speed data of certain locations, or it may not be the best model to describe wind speed when compared to the fitness of other probability distributions. Thus, in this study, four probability distributions are fitt… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
