摘要
On Jeju Island, South Korea, an investigation was conducted to determine the best method for estimating Weibull parameters. Six methods commonly used in many fields of the wind energy industry were reviewed: the empirical, moment, graphical, energy pattern factor, maximum likelihood, and modified maximum likelihood methods. In order to improve the reliability of a research result, five-year actual wind speed data taken from nine sites with various topographical conditions were used for the estimation. Furthermore, the effect of various topographical conditions on the accuracy of the methods was analyzed and 10 bin interval types were applied to determine the most appropriate bin interval based on their performances. Weibull distributions that were estimated using these methods were compared with the observed wind speed distribution. Then the accuracy of each method was evaluated using four accuracy tests. The results showed that of the six methods, the moment method had the best performance regardless of topographical conditions, while the graphical method performed the worst. Additionally, topographical conditions did not affect the accuracy ranking of the methods for estimating the Weibull parameters, while an increase of terrain complexity resulted in an increase of discrepancy between the estimated Weibull distribution and the frequency of the observed wind speed data. In addition, the choice in bin interval greatly affected the accuracy of the graphical method while it did not depend on the accuracy of the modified maximum likelihood method.
