Empirical Downscaling of Wind Speed Probability Distributions

Comparison of the Weibull Model with Measured Wind Speed Distributions

Wind is the principal driver of the Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS), which is a process−based computer model for the simulation of wind−blown sediment loss from a field. WEPS generates wind using a stochastic wind generator. The objectives of this study were to improve the stochastic generation of wind speed and direction and to update the wind statistics used by the generator with statis...

Modelling Wind Speed Distributions in Selected Weather Stations

Modelling daily wind speed data by using the two parameter Weibull distribution for ten selected weather stations in Sri Lanka is presented. The daily wind speed data measured by the Department of Meteorology at the heights of 6m-15m during the years 2001 and 2004 were used in this work. The annual variation of the fitted Weibull parameters, the shape parameter k and the scale parameter c range...

Virtual Wind Speed Sensor for Wind Turbines

A data-driven approach for development of a virtual wind-speed sensor for wind turbines is presented. The virtual wind-speed sensor is built from historical wind-farm data by data-mining algorithms. Four different data-mining algorithms are used to develop models using wind-speed data collected by anemometers of various wind turbines on a wind farm. The computational results produced by differe...
