Abstract:
Facing the problem of wind energy development in Bohai sea,the research status of wind resource assessment methods at home and abroad was stated.Nakagami and Rician distribution were introduced in the wind energy field,and several other twoparameters wind resource assessment methods and their applications were discussed.Based on the observed wind data,it was found that the wind speeds in Bohai sea are almost between 3 m/s and 4 m/s,corresponding to Wind Power Class I.Weibull,Gumbel,Logistic,Normal and Rician distributions has the same fitting law,which is suitable for the same type of distribution.However,Gamma,Loglogistic,Lognormal and Inverse Gaussian distributions have the opposite law.The Nakahami distribution is more suitable than the other traditional distributions like Weibull distribution for wind resource assessment in the Bohai sea.
