Energy Estimation of Wind Regimes by Weibull Based Approach
Description
Accessing the energy available in the wind regime prevailing at a site is one of the preliminary steps in the planning of a wind energy project. Wind energy density and the energy available in the regime over a period are usually taken as the yard-stiks for evaluating the energy potential. The wind energy density (ED) is the energy available in the regime for a unit rotor area and time. Thus, ED is a function of the velocity and distribution of wind ni the regime.
