Two- parameter Weibull distribution is the most widely used and accepted distribution in the energy literature. However, it does not model the all wind speed data encountered in nature. Therefore, in this study, different distributions are used for modeling wind energy, such as Gamma, lognormal, Generalized Rayleigh. The estimators of the unknown parameters of these distributions are found by using maximum likelihood estimators.}, number={4}, publisher={Bingol University}, organization={Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi}
