Abstract
In this paper, wind potential assessment of a wind site of Indian state of Goa under warm humid climatic zone is proposed using statistical distribution functions. Weibull and Rayleigh models were used for the statistical analysis of wind speed using typical meteorological year (TMY) data and wind rose diagram was plotted to study the wind direction and velocity. The results obtained were promising in terms of wind power density and Raleigh model best suits for Goa wind site.
