Wind Speed Potential Analysis Based on Weibull Distribution

Weibull probability density function used todetermine the wind energy potential commonly. In this paper,wind energy potential of Bilecik region is analyzed statistically byusing the Turkish State Meteorological Service’s hourly windspeed data between 2010-2014 measured in Bilecikmeteorological station. It is used the two- parameter Weibull todetermine wind energy potential of the region. The parameters ofthe Weibull distributions used for finding the estimation ofaverage speed, standard deviation, and power density is found byusing the Maximum likelihood method. All analysis is carried outby Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) programming language.Monthly and yearly wind speeds are modeled by Weibulldistribution statistically. Accuracy of the modeling is evaluated interms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).
