Abstract
The paper presents a comparative assessment of methods for extreme value analysis of the US wind speed data using four different methods, namely Standard Gumbel, Modified Gumbel, Peaks-Over-Threshold (POT) and Method of Independent Storms (MIS). The analysis highlights the influence of methodological assumptions on the estimates of design wind speed corresponding to 50-year and 500-year return period. The results demonstrate that the MIS method leads to more stable quantile estimates than the POT method.
