This paper analyses wind speed estimation for Weibull distribution using various methods. According to a previous study, the existing methods primarily target areas with moderate to high-velocity rates, and Malaysia is a tropical country with pleasant breezes all year. As a result, this research aims to devise the most efficient method of forecasting wind speeds in low-speed areas. The researcher compared existing methods such as the Moment of Method, Empirical Method, Graphical Method, Maximum Likelihood Method and the newly proposed Alternative Graphical method. The finding indicates that the novel proposed approach, the Alternative Graphical Method, is superior regarding Goodness of Fit, Kolmogorov Smirnov and Chi-Square. For Kolmogorov Smirnov, the Alternative Graphical Method is 3.4 % better than the second-best method. At the same time, the usage of Chi-Square is again at a top position, with a 61 % disparity between it and the second and third best places. However, the Alternative Graphical Method is in second place for Anderson Darling, but the forecast performance with a minimum difference of 0.3 %. These findings imply that the Alternative Graphical Method capable of making more precise predictions than current methods.

This paper presents a site suitability analysis for a 20 MW wind farm project in western Algeria’s highlands. The aim is to improve the quality of the electricity grid’s service and increase Algeria’s renewable energy utilization. The wind potential of three regions, Mecheria, El Kheiter, and Naâma, was evaluated using the Weibull function and the wind atlas analysis and application program (WAsP) with a ten-year database (2011-2021) at 10 m hub height. The assessment encompassed a comprehensive analysis of various wind resource parameters, including mean wind speed, prevailing direction, and power densities. In comparison to other sites, the Mecheria region has the best wind potential, with a mean annual wind speed of 6.31 m/s, a power density of 283 W/m2, and Weibull parameters A = 7.1 m/s and k = 2.02. These promising results prompted us to design a wind farm in this region using Power Wind 90/2000 kW turbine technology facing the predominant wind directions of the site, producing 103.91 GWh of total annual gross energy produced (gross AEP) and 103.75 GWh of total annual net energy produced (net AEP). Finally, it appears that the wind resources in the selected region are well-suited for electricity generation, offering a promising opportunity to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels.

Many countries have initiated strategies to produce energy from alternative sources, reduce the economic dependence on conventional sources, and limit dioxide carbon emissions. Algeria is one of the countries producing conventional energy sources (petrol and gas), the growing of fossils energy consumption in Algeria reduces its oil product exports. This paper focuses on a comprehensive view of the global electrical energy situation and exactly the renewable energy sector in Algeria with specific details of the electrical network named Pole InSalih-Adrar-Timimoun (PIAT). Also, three renewable energy centers were revised completely technically, Also, an investigation of the Algerian renewable energy plan in horizons 2030 was attained in this paper
