The present study discussed the wind resource assessment of a 30MW wind farm in Santa Vitoria do Palmar, Brazil. The wind regime at the site was evaluated by determining the Weibull parameters, annual mean wind speed, turbulence intensity and predicted annual energy yield. The Weibull parameters wer...
