Abstract
Wind energy is one of the most cost effective renewable energy resources. The purpose of this study is to investigate wind energy potential at different sites in India from year 2008-2017 for six month basis (March to August). The average wind speed data for different sites indicates that the average wind speed for site Tiruchirappalli is highest. The normal probability plot shows that wind speed data are normally distributed except for the site Kolkata. Weibull cumulative probability plot shows that the higher probability of occurrence of wind energy was at higher average wind speed for each site. Weibull probability density function shows that the probability density function is minimum at higher average wind speed. It is also found that the scale parameter is an important parameter compare to shape parameter that affect wind speed. The analysis of power density shows that the average power density for site Tiruchirappalli is highest and lowest for site Agartala. The analysis also shows that higher wind energy possibility is in Tiruchirappalli followed by Coimbatore.
