description This paper deals with methods for estimating the parameters of the Weibull wind speed distribution from a given set of wind speed data. Of the five methods presented, two are selected for wind energy evaluation studies: one uses Weibull probability paper, the other so-called percentiles. For a comparison both methods have been applied to the data from six meteorological stations. The simple graphical method using Weibull probability paper is preferred to that employing percentile estimators.
