In this article, the Weibull function is used for representation of the wind speed frequency distribution and methods for estimating the two Weibbull parameters (scale factor c and shape factor k) from simple wind statistics are presented.Abstract:
The Weibull function is discussed for representation of the wind speed frequency distribution. Methods are presented for estimating the two Weibull parameters (scale factor c and shape factor k) from simple wind statistics. Comparison is made with a recently proposed method based on the “square-root-normal” distribution with mean wind speed and fastest mile data as input statistics. The Weibull distribution is shown to give smaller root-mean-square errors than the square-root-normal distribution when fitting actual distributions of observed wind speed. Another advantage of the Weibull distribution is the available methodology for projecting to another height the observed Weibull distribution parameters at anemometer height.read more

A review of wind speed probability distributions used in wind energy analysis: Case studies in the Canary Islands
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the use of the probability density function (PDF) of wind speed is carried out for a wide collection of models, and the methods that have been used to estimate the parameters on which these models depend are reviewed and the degree of complexity of the estimation is analyzed in function of the model selected.
