    Wind energy: Homework2

    BEGGAH Rofeyda Nor El Yaquine


    October 21, 2023

    1 Introduction:
    Wind energy, a vital player in sustainable power, relies on understanding wind
    speed patterns. Distribution functions like Weibull, Rayleigh, and log-normal
    are statistical tools used in this field. These functions help estimate energy
    production and optimize wind turbine performance, making them crucial in the
    wind energy landscape.

    2 Research:
    • The Binomial Distribution:
    Binomial distribution is a statistical distribution that summarizes the
    probability that a value will take one of two independent values under
    a given set of parameters or assumptions.
    The underlying assumptions of binomial distribution are that there is only
    one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success,
    and each trial is mutually exclusive or independent of one another,given
    by:  
    n
    P (X = k) = · pk · (1 − p)n−k
    k

    • The Poisson Distribution:


    In statistics, a Poisson distribution is a probability distribution that is
    used to show how many times an event is likely to occur over a specified
    period. In other words, it is a count distribution. Poisson distributions are
    often used to understand independent events that occur at a constant rate
    within a given interval of time. It was named after French mathematician
    Siméon Denis Poisson.
    The Poisson distribution is a discrete function, meaning that the variable
    can only take specific values in a (potentially infinite) list. Put differently,
    the variable cannot take all values in any continuous range. For the Poisson

    1
    distribution, the variable can only take whole number values (0, 1, 2, 3,
    etc.), with no fractions or decimals, given by:

    e−λ λk
    P (X = k) =
    k!

    • The Gaussian Distribution: In probability theory and statistics, the Nor-


    mal Distribution, also called the Gaussian Distribution, is the most sig-
    nificant continuous probability distribution. Sometimes it is also called a
    bell curve. A large number of random variables are either nearly or ex-
    actly represented by the normal distribution, in every physical science and
    economics. Furthermore, it can be used to approximate other probability
    distributions, therefore supporting the usage of the word ‘normal ‘as in
    about the one, mostly used.
    given by:
    (x−µ)2
    f (x) = √1 e− 2σ 2
    σ 2π

    • The Rayleigh Distribution:


    The Rayleigh distribution is a continuous probability distribution often
    used to model the magnitude of 2D vector components with Gaussian-
    distributed orthogonal components. The probability density function (PDF)
    of the Rayleigh distribution is defined as follows:
    For a random variable X with a Rayleigh distribution:
    x 2
    x − 2σ
    f(x; σ) = σ2 e
    2

    In this formula:
    - f (x; σ) represents the probability density function of the Rayleigh distribution
    with parameter σ.
    - x is the random variable for which you want to compute the probability density.
    - σ is a positive parameter that represents the scale of the distribution.

    4 Conclusion
    In the world of wind energy, distribution functions are our trusty allies. They
    guide our decisions, ensuring that we harness the wind’s potential to produce
    clean, efficient, and economically viable energy. As technology advances, our
    grasp of these functions will continue to drive the wind energy industry forward,
    helping us lead the charge in the transition to renewable power.
