Economic assessment of water pumping systems using wind energy conversion systems in the southern part of nigeria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the wind energy potential and the economic viability of the water pumping systems supplied by various wind turbine models using two-parameter Weibull probability density function to analyze the wind speed data collected between 1971 and 2007 by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency for seven meteorological stations, in the southern part of Nigeria, namely Asaba, Calabar, Ogoja, P-Harcourt, Uyo, Benin City, and Warri.

Adequacy evaluation of wind power generation systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo model simulation is incorporated in the algorithm to obtain the hourly power output of wind farms, which also takes into account the unavailability of wind turbines, and the reliability index of LOLE (loss of load expectation) is used to estimate the reliable contribution of wind farm power generation.

Estimation of wind speed probability distribution and wind energy potential using adaptive neuro-fuzzy methodology
Aamer Bilal Asghar,Xiaodong Liu +1 more
TL;DR: A hybrid intelligent learning based adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is proposed to accurately estimate the Weibull wind speed PDF and the results are compared with five well-known numerical methods and indicate that ANFIS provides the best fit of measured WeIBull distribution curve.
