Wind Speed Distribution

With economic development and population growth, energy demand has shown an upward trend. Renewable energy is inexhaustible and causes little pollution, which has broad prospects for development. In recent years, wind energy has been developed as an essential renewable energy source. The use of wind power is very environmentally friendly and plays a critical role in economic growth. Assessing the characteristics and potential of wind energy is the first step in the effective development of wind energy. The wind speed distribution at a specific location determines the available wind energy. This paper reviews the wind speed distribution models used for wind energy assessment, and they are applicable to different wind regimes. All potential wind speed distribution models should be considered for modeling wind speed data at a particular site. Previous studies have selected several parameter estimation methods and evaluation criteria to estimate model parameters and evaluate the goodness-of-fit. This paper discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The characteristics of wind speed distribution are constantly varying geographically and temporally. Wind energy assessment should consider local geographical elements, such as local climate, topography, and thermal properties difference between the land and the sea, and focus on long-term variations in wind characteristics.

Wind Speed Distribution

The main objective of this study is to estimate the optimum Weibull scale and shape parameters for wind speed distribution at three stations of the state of Tamil Nadu, India using Nelder-Mead, Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno, and Simulated annealing optimization algorithms. An attempt has been made for the first time to apply these optimization algorithms to determine the optimum parameters. The study was conducted for long term wind speed data (38 years), short term wind speed data (5 years) and also with single year’s wind speed data to assess the performance of the algorithm for different quantum of data. The efficiency of these algorithms are analyzed using various statistical indicators like Root mean square error (RMSE), Correlation coefficient (R), Mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R2). The results suggest that the performance of three algorithms is similar irrespective of the quantum of the dataset. The estimated Weibull parameters are almost similar for short term and long term dataset. There is a marginal variation in the obtained parameters when only single year’s wind data is considered for the analysis. The Weibull probability distribution curve fits very well on the wind speed histogram when only single year’s wind speed data is considered and fits marginally well when short term and long term wind speed data is considered
