[IEEE 2018 International Conference on Emerging Trends and Innovations In Engineering And Technological Research (ICETIETR) - Ernakulam, Cochin, India (2018.7.11-2018.7.13)] 2018 International Conference on Emerging Trends and Innovations In Engineering And Technological Research (ICETIETR) - Statistical Analysis of Monthly Solar Radiations and Wind Speed Data

摘要： Increase in electricity demand has motivated us to move towards renewable energy sources. These energy sources are available abundantly and can never be exhausted. Environmental impacts are much lower than those with conventional energy sources. Therefore, in this study, solar and wind data has been collected at Aurangabad, Maharashtra (Latitude: 19o52’ 3.61” N – Longitude: 75o19’ 23.99” E) for a period of one year and statistical analysis has been carried out. Solar radiation data has been recorded to estimate the level of radiations falling on the same location mentioned above, while the wind speed data has been recorded and analyzed using Weibull and Rayleigh distribution and the best fitting distribution of wind has been found out using goodness of fit tests.
