Abstract
Several statistical distributions have been considered to model wind speed data. However, Weibull and Rayleigh statistical distributions are the most widely used methods for analyzing wind speed measurements and determining wind energy potential. In this work, these statistical distributions were applied in order to evaluate the wind resources in the northern Moroccan city of Tetouan. Adjustment of wind measurement data was performed. Then, the obtained results were compared with the provided wind data to test their accuracy based on common statistical indicators for performance. It was found that the Weibull and Rayleigh distribution models provide adequate description of the frequencies of actual wind records in Tetouan. They can be advantageously used to assess wind resource characteristics in this region.
