Accurate forecasting of wind power generation is closely linked to how well wind speed variability is represented, particularly through the estimation of Weibull distribution parameters.

摘要

Accurate forecasting of wind power generation is closely linked to how well wind speed variability is represented, particularly through the estimation of Weibull distribution parameters. In this study, four parameter estimation approaches AMLM, MM, GM, and MMLM—are systematically evaluated using real operational data from the Tétouan wind farm located in northern Morocco. The analysis is based on wind speed records measured at 80 m above ground level throughout the year 2019, with the objective of assessing each method’s capability to predict actual energy production. The comparative results indicate that the Method of Moments (MM) provides the most reliable performance, yielding a minimal corrected deviation of +1.09% between predicted and measured energy output. Furthermore, the integration of turbine technical availability information derived from the SCADA system enhances the robustness and realism of the estimation process. These findings highlight the importance of combining statistical wind modeling with real operational data to achieve more accurate energy forecasts and to support the effective operation and management of wind farms under practical conditions.
