Abstract

A python program has been developed to analyze wind distributions using the Weibull density function. A two-parameter Weibull function is frequently used to model and assess wind potential and wind distribution. This python program finds first Weibull parameters from the recorded wind data by five different methods, namely, Empirical Method(EPM), Method of Moment (MoM), Energy Pattern Factor Method (EPFM), Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM), Modified Maximum Likelihood Method (MMLM), the parameters are then used to find theoretically fitted pdfs. The program is implemented on wind distribution of two cities of Pakistan (Chakri and Sadiq Abad). The program-generated pdfs were plotted with the histogram of recorded data, the fitting was excellent. To check the validity of the fitted pdfs, statistical errors Root Mean Square (RMSE), MeanAbsolute Percent Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MABE), and Chi-square statistic are calculated. In all cases,these statistical errors are well below the acceptance range. Both pictorial results and numerical values of statistical errors indicate the performance of the python program to analyze wind speed data
