Abstract

Wind power generation potential of Guangzhou has been analyzed based on the wind speed data collected in the recent 30 years. In order to make the results more accurate, the Weibull distribution function is introduced and the two parameters can be identified by CAD method together with local weather data available. By referring to the power characteristics of the wind turbines, the monthly and yearly operating probabilities and the output power under different heights are analyzed. Given by the above data and the power generation cost, it is proved that although the wind power resources in Guangzhou is not very ideal, it can also be utilized to generate power.
