Question: Problem # 1 Wind speeds at a certain location were sampled at 1 Hz and averaged for 1 h for one year ( 8 7

Problem #1
Wind speeds at a certain location were sampled at 1 Hz and averaged for 1 h for one year (8760 hr ). The results are as shown in the table below. The height of measurements was 50 meters. Take and average air density of 1.1kgm3. Complete the table below and
Draw a histogram of velocity frequency
Draw the cumulative velocity distribution
Draw the frequency probability distribution, f(v) and the accumulative probability distribution, F(V)
Calculate the average wind power potential
Calculate the average wind speed
Calculate the standard deviation
Calculate the Weibull shape and scale factors
Using the Weibull Distribution you found above then estimate
a. the wind energy density,
b. annual energy intensity,
c. most frequent wind velocity
d. and the velocity responsible for maximum energy
e. comment on the results by comparing the value found in a-d with measured values
