Distribution cycle of wind speed: A case study in the Southern Part of Malaysia

Abstract

Wind energy has historically helped many people and has been utilized for farming and seafaring. Today, modern usage is more comprehensive such as generating electricity. However, its usage in Malaysia remains at an all-time low. Numerous factors contribute to this result. Consequently, a full assessment of wind energy in a particular region is deemed necessary. This study investigates wind speed distribution in Mersing. It also illustrates the period during which the regional distribution statistics changed. The researcher used Autofit 5.6 and the Maximum Likelihood Method to figure out the parameter value of each distribution for wind speed data from 2012 to 2016. This study utilized three distinct methods of Goodness of fit (GOF) to estimate the optimal distribution ranking, such as Chi-Square, Anderson-Darling, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov. The results reveal that the Burr, Gamma, and Lognormal distributions correlate to the wind speed data in Mersing and the Burr distribution is the most appropriate. In addition, the findings indicate that distribution changes occur at a minimum rate of 8.89%. In conclusion, these findings reveal that there has been no significant change over the five years. This information enables stakeholders to determine whether they will earn a profit owing to changes in the distribution of a particular area, reducing risk.

“…Based on the Anderson-Darling test for goodness of fit, the statistical analysis reveals that the incoming airflow distribution across the different states listed in Table 2 is best represented by the Weibull distribution. This finding aligns with other research studies, confirming the global trend that the incoming wind distribution at the Lamthakhong Wind Farm can be represented using a Weibull function [36,37]. The distribution histogram, depicted in Figure 9, illustrates the results of the statistical analysis for all wind turbine towers.…”

Design and implementation of smart integrated hybrid Solar-Darrieus wind turbine system for in-house power generation

“…Wind energy utilization in Malaysia has gained attention in recent years as the country seeks to diversify its energy mix and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. While Malaysia has traditionally focused on hydroelectric and fossil fuel-based energy sources, wind energy is gradually being explored and integrated into its power generation landscape [3]. The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of "vertical-axis wind turbine" (VAWT) known for its distinctive helical or "eggbeater" shape.…”
