Investigation of Parameter Estimation Methods for Wind Energy Potential Calculation

Abstract

Weibul distribution is widely used to compute wind power potential. There are a lot of estimation methods about Weibull distribution’s parameters in literature. But L-moment estimation method is rarely used to compute wind power potential. The aim of this study is introduced L-moment estimation method which provide very effective results in small samples. Furthermore,in this study, shape and scale parameters of two parameter Weibull distribution were estimated with ordinary least squares, maximum likelihood and L-moment methods for actual wind speed data.
