Abstract
The increased integration of wind power into the electric power systems brings new challenges for effective their planning and operation. The Weibull distribution is a widely used distribution, especially for modelling the random variable of wind speed. In the paper, the authors present a comparative analysis of some methods for estimating the Weibull parameters. Results for a real-world database are presented in a study case. The techniques require historical wind speed data, collected over a certain time interval, to establish the parameters of the wind speed distribution for that particular location.
