ABSTRACT:

In this study a novel distribution function is discussed to study the wind speed characteristics and wind turbine characteristics. This paper focuses on the study of estimation of wind resource potential and wind turbine characteristics at higher hub height. A detailed wind resource assessment analysis and selection of wind turbine are discussed for estimating capacity factor and harnessing maximum wind power at Mamatkheda. The selection procedures of the efficient wind turbine (WT) of (class II) for the site, according to IEC 61400, are fully investigated.  This study also reveals that the Mamatkheda has a high wind potential which result in significant increase in AEP.
