Performance Comparison of New Generation Parameter Estimation Methods for Weibull Distribution to Compute Wind Energy Density

To install a wind energy conversion system to a region, the wind speed characteristics of that region must be identified. The two-parameter Weibull distribution is highly efficient in modeling wind speed characteristics. In this study, the wind speed data of 32 cities in three different regions of T...
