This paper uses the Weibull's distribution function to describe the wind speed frequency distribution at Palkalalnagar (geographical co-ordinates N : 9ยฐ54 ', E : 78ยฐ54'), Madurai, India using the one year data available. Weibull's parameters are used to estimate the wind data parameters for the site. Of the wind data parameters the most important one is the annual specific output (TA), This is used in determining the annual energy output of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) and in conducting cost-benefit analysis of wind-electricity generation. The parameter is used in evaluating the efficiency of WECS in the same site. Results show the possibilities of harnessing wind energy towards electricity generation.

Wind speed data for 30 locations in Nigeria were analysed. Annual mean wind speeds and power flux densities were determined to vary from 1.5 to 4.l m/s and 5.7 to 22.5 W/m 2, respectively. The mean maximum power extractable from two hypothetical aerogenerators were determined. The potential uses of
