Comparative Analysis of Wind Speed Models Using Different Weibull Distributions

A wide variety of distribution functionsare used in the literature for wind speed modelling. It is the most widely usedWeibull distribution (WD) function in wind speed modelling. In this paper,two-parameter WD, Rayleigh distribution (RD) which is a special form of WD, andInverse Weibull distribution (IWD) offered for a new seasonal wind speedmodelling are considered and analyzed for six different regions (Gökçeada,Bozcaada, Bandırma, Bilecik, Yalova and Sakarya regions) in the Northwest of Turkey,comparatively. The hourly wind speed data for the period of  October 2015 to 30 September 2016 is takenfrom Turkish State Meteorological Service. As a result of the comparison, it isseen that the WD is generally suitable, although IWD has good seasonal resultsin some regions. All the comparative results are given in tables.
