Wind Power Density Statistics Using the Weibull Model for Inner Mongolia, China

摘要

The Weibull density function is used to estimate the wind energy potential of Zhurihe station (42.2°N, 112.5°E) situated in the most windy area of Inner Mongolia, China. Based on 10 years (1991-2000) measured daily-average wind-speed data, the scale and shape parameters of the Weibull model are estimated and the probability density distributions are derived from the time-series data. The wind energy potential of Zhurihe station is also evaluated by the Weibull model.
