ASSESSMENT OF WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL FOR ACCRA, GHANA USING TWO PARAMETER WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION

This study investigates the predictive ability of two-parameter Weibull distribution function for Accra, Ghana using fifteen years (2002 – 2016) meteorological parameter monthly mean wind speed data. The and annual averaged was estimated to be . values maximum energy carrying most probable were found respectively. two parameters statistics in this Accra within range shape scale parameters. results power density indicated that location has a good prospect generation with highest value September, 2006. linear relationship between shows perfect correlation coefficient 99.3 % exists them. obtained from revealed appropriate analyzing measured data predicting region under investigation. Therefore, an excellent
