Analysis of wind speed characteristics using different distribution models in Medan City, Indonesia

<span lang="EN-CA">Estimating wind speed characteristics plays an essential role in designing a power plant at selected location. In this study, the Weibull, gamma, and exponential distribution models were proposed to estimate analyze parameters functions. Real measured data collected from Medan City, Indonesia. The scale shape factors of for three years calculated. observed cumulative probability was compared predicted characteristics. density function (PDF) (CDF) also analyzed. results showed that Weibull model best determine PDF, while CDF City site.</span>
