investigation of the compliance of offshore wind data with the weibull distribution function using six different methods

The aim of this study is to investigate how the weibull distribution function is compatible with the wind data in the offshore regions. especially with the increase in energy demand and the advancement of technology, the importance of wind energy has increased. many academic studies on wind energy have been conducted and are being conducted at the same time. determination of wind energy potential offshore and making investments in this area have accelerated today. although many studies have been made in the field of wind energy, it is not sufficiently benefited from above-sea wind energy. the compatibility of wind data with weibull distribution function (wdf) on land has been investigated in many academic studies and the results have been evaluated. however, the compatibility of the offshore wind data with the wdf has not been investigated sufficiently and there are steps to be taken in this regard. in this study, a point was selected in iskenderun gulf to examine the compatibility of offshore wind data with wdf function. in this study, six different methods are used to determine the parameters of the wdf and their performance are evaluated in different error analysis tests.
