Wind speed is considered as crucial parameters for installation of wind energy projects at any location. Data analysis reveals that monthly variations in the wind speed at fifteen different sites of the country helps to measure the other wind characteristics such as the modified Weibull scale parameter, modified Weibull shape parameters, wind power potential and density and capacity factors of the proposed sites. Weibull Wind speed x ̅determined wind speed characteristics of specific sites by using the data and information obtained from the meteorological department of Pakistan which consists of the entire period of observations and the results consist of following figures.

It is a fact that the Weibull distribution function parameters (C & K) also measure the mean wind power density but our study mainly relies on the Weibull distribution and Power law modified equation for measurement of mean wind power and wind power density. Results for, estimation of wind power and wind energy density shows a frequency occurrence of poor performance of speed classes. The results shows that average wind speed (V) vary over a relatively small range of 5.39 m/s at S3 and 2.13 m/s at S2 and relative density of 208.19 m/w2 and 155.66 m/w2 according to …show more content…
Site S4 is suitable for a probable viability category which only can be used to charge battery, water pumping and other small usage of government projects and public private partnership projects because Pakistan has a severe shortage of
