Abstract: | Characteristics of wind speed data for three recent years, recorded at 14 stations of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, have been studied. The data have been used to compute the monthly average wind speed and the wind energy availability for the stations. Average values of monthly wind speed for 1931–1960 have been employed to obtain the energy availability from the energy pattern factor, and the two sets of results have been compared. It has been found that, for the Chittagong station, the frequency distributions have good fits of the Weibull type. |
