Description
Summary:This article analyzes and assesses the potential for wind energy exploitation in six regions of Vietnam. The wind speed data are used to construct wind speed probability distributions (WSPDs) based on kernel density estimation (KDE). The KDE distribution, with six bandwidth selection methods, is implemented to generate probability density functions (PDFs) for each region's data to describe wind speed characteristics. The statistical tests Cramér-Von Mises (CvM), Anderson-Darling (A-D), and Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) are applied to evaluate the PDFs' goodness-of-fit performance. The analysis results present the KDE distribution using the least-squares cross-validation (LSCV), and the Scott bandwidth selection method has outstanding fitting performance. Based on these PDF distributions, the wind turbine (WT) power curve is used to estimate and predict the amount of electricity that can be produced. This study also proposes a reliable method for wind power output planning based on wind speed that can be universally applied.
