Abstract

Wind Energy is a part of promising renewable energy, in this article the author studies the potential of wind energy as a source of wind power in the city of Merauke. The method used is to analyze the probability of wind speed distribution based on primary data and secondary data using the 2 parameter weibull distribution to find out the character of the wind after that then calculate the potential of available wind energy. The results of wind speed character analysis show β form parameter > 3, the wind energy potential available in Merauke, with different elevations producing wind energy potentials ranging from 2 kW to 56.83 kW.

Keywords: Wind velocity; Weibull Distribution; Wind Energy Potential
