Futhemoe, we estimate the powe and the electical enegy, poduced by the wind tubine, ATB.. that we have poposed as electical aeogeneato fo the site unde study. In fact, the modeling of wind esouces consists of using two methods: fist, we use the diect statistical pocessing of wind data, aftewad; we apply a mathematical appoach to fequency distibutions of wind speed. As fo the estimation of the powe and the poduced electical enegy by the wind tubine unde test, we have modeled the powe cuve using polynomial intepolation of Lagange. Keywods: wind enegy, weibull distibution, estimation of powe, powe cuve. INTRODUCTION The enegy tanspoted by the wind is the diving foce of wind tubines, with a andom and intemittent chaacteistic. The vaiation of the wind speed can affect diectly the dynamic chaacteistic of the wind tubine []. Consequently, in the development of a poject of wind enegy, the high quality of the data of wind is necessay to estimate the wind esouces in a coect way []. The statistical appoach is one of the adequate methods fo the estimation of the impotant popeties in the wind poduction. In fact, these popeties ae the fequency and the value of the wind speed. Fo the peiod of 6 yeas going fom 9 till, this pape pesents the study, the analysis and the statistical modelling of the wind speed in the egion of Ait Aiaaza, povince of Taoudant in the South of Moocco. It also deals with the estimation of the powe and the poduced enegy by ATB.. wind tubine [3] that we have suggested fo the site unde test. This pape is subdivided as follows: afte this intoduction, the section pesents the chaacteistics of the site unde test situated in the povince of Taoudant in Moocco. Next, in the section 3, we model and estimate the wind esouces that is to say, the modelling of the wind of this site based pimaily on the technique using the law of and also the estimation by modelling the powe and the enegy poduced by the ATB..wind tubine. In the section we will pesent the vaious analyzed and contovesial esults. In the end of this pape, we will put up a conclusion and some pespectives. RESENTATION OF THE SITE UNDER STUDY The site of ou study is the village of Ait Aiaaza which is situated in the povince of Taoudant in the south of Moocco. The geogaphical coodinates of this site ae: W of longitude, 3. N of latitude and 73 m of height, its geogaphical location is pesented in the Figue-. Figue-. Geogaphical location of the site of Ait Aiaaza. The meteoological data, such as the sola illumination, the ambient tempeatue, the humidity and the wind speed and its diection, ae collected though a meteoological station installed aound this site. MODELING AND EALUATION OF WIND RESOURCES Mathematical modeling of the wind Diect statistical teatment of the wind data The statistical teatment of the wind data depends on the natue and on the numbe of available measues. This teatment allows, in fact, the volume eduction of the data. This method epesents the data obseved by a numbe of limited paametes []. It povides inteesting infomation to the uses of the wind enegy on the fluctuation of the wind speed. This offes the possibility of detemining the wind potential of a given site and so allows the estimation of the wind enegy which we can poduce in this site. Concening the wind speed, it is expessed though its aveage value moy given by the equation (). This expession epesents the aveage aithmetic of all the 96

To teat statistically these speeds, we exploit the elation () which gives the expession of the standad deviation of the wind speeds. In fact, it will be a citeion allowing measuing the dispesal of the wind speeds aound its aveage value. The moe this citeion is low, the moe speeds ae gouped aound the aveage speed moy. () N i N i moy Mathematical modeling of the fequency distibutions of the wind speed The pupose of this pat is to find a mathematical function f() epesenting the distibution of the wind speed fequencies. This function will be useful fo the calculation of the pefomances of a wind system whee the estimation of the wind enegy at heights diffe fom those whee the measues ae taken. To know the speed vaiation of the wind, we use the distibution. The latte, allows us to chaacteize the fequency distibution of the wind speeds ove a given peiod, in ode to analyze the wind enegy potential of any given site. This distibution is defined by the density of pobability f() given by the equation (3) [] []: f K C C K e K C Whee the paametes of K, without dimension and C having the dimension of a speed (m/s), ae espectively: fo the fist one, it s the facto fom of the law. It chaacteizes the fom of the distibution fequency. The moe K is aised, the moe the distibution is naowed. Concening the second paamete, it is the scaling facto. This detemines the quality of the wind, the value of which is geneally high fo the windy sites and week fo the sites chaacteized by athe low winds. The accumulated fequency F() coesponding to the density of pobability f() is given by () []: F e K C (3) () b F f d () a b a The detemination of the paametes K and C allows the knowledge of the distibution of winds fo a given site. Fom the data of the wind of a site, thee ae seveal methods which lead to detemine these paametes [6]. One of the techniques stipulates that, K and C can be estimated fom the aveage speed and the aveage standad deviation of the wind speed. In fact, the paamete K is detemined by an empiical appoximation poposed by Justus in 978 [7]. This appoximation is given by the elation (6): K.86 (6) moy Afte the detemination of K, the facto of shape C is calculated by the equation (7): C Γx = moy K Whee Γ(x) is the function Gamma given by (8): + t x (7) t t (8) The aveage speed of the wind moy can be obtained by integating the function of density of pobability f(), accoding to (9): moy f ( ) d (9) Accoding to the paametes of, this aveage speed moy can be estimated by the equation () []: moy C () K As fo the standad deviation of the speeds of winds, it is expessed by the equation (): moy f d () By using the paametes of and afte some substitutions, is calculated by the equation (): C () K K Concening the pobability of a speed of the wind, occuing between a and b, can be calculated by (): 963

To make this extapolation, we have used the law of powe pesented in [6] [8]. This law is a simple model fo the detemination of the vetical pofile of the wind. This model takes into account influences of the oughness of the suface and the atmospheic stability. This law is descibed by the equation (): Z ( Z ) ( Z ) Z Z () Whee (z) is the wind speed fo the height z and (z ) is the value of this speed in height of the efeence z. With z, an empiical coefficient, epesenting the oughness of the gound and the atmospheic stability. its value depends essentially on the natue of the gound. Numeically z vaies between. fo a smooth gound, and, fo a bumped field. The value, most fequently adopted fo z, is aound, [6]. The detemination of the empiical fomulas of paametes extapolation equies the use of the model poposed by Mikhail and Justus [9] [].

This is justified by the week measued values of the wind speed. It is thus obvious that a study of complementaily entes the wind enegy and desiable photovoltaic, because the peiods of the yea having a week peiod of sunshine, coespond to those having a bette wind potential. So the coupling of these two souces of enegy tuns out to be the safest and most adequate solution, fo autonomous systems of electification. CONCLUSION AND ERSECTIES In this pape, we have pesented the study and the modeling of the wind potential concening the Ait Aiaaza site, in Taoudant povince at Mooccan south. Based on the diect statistical analysis of the wind data, and mathematical modeling of wind speed fequency distibutions, we have poposed two pediction techniques of the electical enegy poduced by the ATB.. aeogeneato - ATB iveted CALZONI Spa Company - that we have poposed fo ou site. The analysis of the esults shows that the appoach used fo pediction of electical enegy fom the wind powe, yields good esults, since the elative eo E does not exceed.7%, as an aveage value fo 6 yeas. Likewise, these esults show that the unde test site has a elatively aveage wind enegy potential because the maximum value of the powe density does not exceed W/ m. This is justified by the low measued values of the wind speed. The pespectives of this wok aim at pedicting the poduction of a wind plant, by taking into account in ou study the effect of the aeodynamic inteactions between wind tubines, to give a coect estimation of the electical poduction of the wind fam. It also aims at making a study of complementaity between the sola and wind enegy fo the unde test site, to estimate the electical powe poduction by combining the wind and sola enegies, in a hybid system composed of enewable enegy souces.
