Analysis of wind speed distributions for wind energy potential

Wind energy,i.e.,the renewable source of electrical energy produced uses the wind resource connected to an electrical system. it is necessary to accurately estimate the wind potential to harvest the wind power. the objective of this study is to describe the probability density function of various distributions that provides better model for the wind speed characteristics. the distributions used are weibull,gamma,extreme value,lognormal,rayleigh,generalized extreme value distribution. at the end conclusion are drawn considering the best-fit and the statistical error prediction of the wind assessment data.
