The main objective of the paper is to develop a probabilistic model for capacity factor estimation for a wind turbine located in a specific area, model based on the output power distribution of wind turbine. This model was applied for a wind turbine located to a region in the North-East of Romania, the model results being validate with results from Monte-Carlo simulation. Finally, the model was...

wind erosion climatic factor is a measure of climatic factors explaining the wind erosion erosivity. humidity and wind speed are climatic characteristics that must be considered as the erosion parameters. in this study, linear moment analysis (l-moments) and wind erosion climatic factor were used to evaluate the regional climate’s tendency effect on wind erosion in yazd province. wind erosion c...

In the present study, we define a functional by means of Kullback-Leibler (K-L) measure for continuous random variables and consider its properties. By virtue of this functional, we suggest a new generalization of K-L optimization principle (GKOP). Due to the defined GKOP, it is possible to obtain the probability distribution of the system which is closer to the true distribution in the sense o...

For the future installation of a wind farm in Cameroon, the wind energy potentials of three of Cameroon's coastal cities (Kribi, Douala and Limbe) are assessed using NASA average monthly wind data for 31 years (1983-2013) and compared through Weibull statistics. The Weibull parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood, the mean power densities, the maximum energy carrying wind s...

The Weibull probability distribution has been widely applied to characterize wind speeds for wind energy resources. Wind power generation modeling is different, however, due in particular to power curve limitations, wind turbine control methods, and transmission system operation requirements. These differences are even greater for aggregated wind power generation in power systems with high wind...

In this paper a procedure for the probabilistic treatment of irradiance and wind meteorological data is reported in order to evaluate the energy potential of a given site as well as the generation of electricity from photovoltaic systems (PVSs) and wind systems (WECSs). In particular the aim of the proposed analysis of recorded meteorological data is twofold: first of all to check if the real p...
