And Performance

In this study, the compatibility of the real wind energy potential to the estimated wind energy potential by Weibull Distribution Function (WDF) of a region with low average wind speed potential was examined. The main purpose of this study is to examine the performance of six different methods used to find the coefficients of the WDF and to determine the best performing method for selected region. In this study seven-year hourly wind speed data obtained from the general directorate of meteorology of this region was used. The root mean square error (RMSE) statistical indicator was used to compare the efficiency of all used methods. Another main purpose of this study is to observe the how the performance of the used methods changes over the years. The obtained results showed that the performances of the used methods showed slight changes over the years, but when evaluated in general, it was observed that all method showed acceptable performance. Based on the obtained results, when the seven-year data is evaluated in this selected region, it can be said that the MM method shows the best performance.

The characterization of wind speed in Cancun, Q. Roo Mexico, had as objectives: 1. To estimate the efficiency and energy produced by a 400W wind turbine at a height of 10 m; 2. To carry out the wind speed characterization. The methodology used was the Weibull distribution. In order to calculate the distribution of the wind speed, with the Wind Rose software we analyzed the energy in different directions and the calculation of potential wind energy based on Rayleigh's analysis. The results showed: that the power generated from the wind speed calculated in (PV) 2.8 m/s was 1.48 W, its capacity factor at 0.004 which does not reach the permissible range of 0.25 to 0.40; the energy produced annually was 14.02 kW/year, it is required to raise the wind turbine to 13.4 m, to reach 12 m/s speed and to be efficient to install a 400 W wind turbine. The paper identifies the preliminary activities and illustrates the method of calculation of wind characterization and energy produced to define the installation conditions of the wind turbine. It also contributes to the scientific advance by estimating the characterization of the wind in Cancun Quintana Roo, Mexico, for future wind turbine installations.

Wind Speed Distribution

To estimate a wind turbine output, optimize its dimensioning, and predict the economic profitability and risks of a wind energy project, wind speed distribution modeling is crucial. Many researchers use directly Weibull distribution basing on a priori acceptance. However, Weibull does not fit some wind speed regimes. The goal of this work is to model the wind speed distribution at Agadir. For that, we compare the accuracy of four distributions (Weibull, Rayleigh, Gamma, and lognormal) which have given good results in this yield. The goodness-of-fit tests are applied to select the effective distribution. The obtained results explain that Weibull distribution is fitting the histogram of observations better than the other distributions. The analysis deals with comparing the error in estimating the annual wind power density using the examined distributions. It was found that Weibull distribution presents minimum error. Thus, wind energy assessors in Agadir can use directly Weibull distribution basing on a scientific decision made via statistical tests. Moreover, assessors worldwide can use the followed methodology to model their wind speed measurements.
