The data was collected for the perod gog to 7 to 6. Assessmet of the wd power potetal was carred out usg the Webull dstrbuto parameters, whch are ealuated by fe umercal techques: The mea stadard deato method, the momet s method, the eergy patter factor method, the Least squares regresso method ad the maxmum lkelhood method (MLM). Results of the study show that the aerage aual wd speeds at m aboe groud for, ad are.,, ad.4 m/s, respectely, leadg to the fact that s ot sutable for wd eergy producto at m alttude. Next, we use the data of temperatures for each cty ad the correspodg wd speed to dere the emprcal fucto goerg the depedecy of ambet temperature ad wd speed, whch lead to the fact that temperature data from umercal weather predcto models ca replace -stu wd speed measuremets.

Demad for eergy s growg expoetally whle coetoal eergy resources are lmted ad ther use cotrbutes major proporto to erometal polluto [].Sce more tha oe cetury ago, electrcty supply has bee hghly due to the dscoery of fossl fuels such as coal ad ol. Nowadays the use of fossl fuels s remaed growth ad they cotue to make up a large part of the global supply cha for electrcty. Due to depleto of fossl fuels ad loomg clmate chages, the deelopmet of sustaable eergy has receed cosderable atteto oer the last two decades. The rsg cocers oer global warmg, erometal polluto, ad eergy securty hae creased terest deelopg reewable ad erometally fredly eergy sources such as wd, solar, hydropower, geothermal, hydroge, ad bomass as the replacemets for fossl fuels[]. Reewable eergy resources are sustaable. Ths meas that they ca be replaced ad wll ot ru out. They are clea ad fredly to the eromet. Wd eergy ca prode sutable solutos to the global clmate chage ad eergy crss. The utlzato of wd power essetally elmates emssos of CO, SO, NOx ad other harmful wastes as tradtoal coal-fuel power plats or radoacte wastes uclear power plats. By further dersfyg the eergy supply, wd eergy dramatcally reduces the depedece o fossl fuels that are subjected to prce ad supply stablty, thus stregtheg global eergy securty. Durg the recet three decades, tremedous growth wd power has bee see all oer the world.[] There are three basc steps to detfy ad characterze the wd resource a ge rego. I geeral, they are prospectg, aldato ad optmzato. I prospectg, oe usually make the detfcato of potetal wdy stes wth a farly large rego, ad geerally, ths s carred out by meteorologsts who deped o arous sources of formato such as topographcal maps, clmatologcal data from meteorologcal statos, ad satellte mageres[]. A ste st s also coducted at ths stage ad a represetate locato for wd measuremet s detfed. Valdato process oles a more detaled leel of estgato lke wd measuremets ad data aalyss [4-6]. The ma objecte of ths mauscrpt s to detfy the approprate cty of Cameroo where the best testy of wd power eergy ca be foud, ad adequate for wd turbe stallato. It s mportat to meto that ther preous studes M. G. Jeutho et al. [7] estmated the wd potetal eergy of cty. As a result they foud that s a lower wd potetal eergy area. I the preset mauscrpt, we compare the area of lower temperature to the area of hgher temperature, ad propose the emprcal mathematcal relato betwee temperature ad wd speed, leadg to the fact that temperature data ca be used place of speed data to choose the approprate ste for wd turbe stallato. Thus, the rest of the paper s orgazed as follow: I Secto, we preset materals ad tools for the data 5

Statstcal aalyss of wd speed aratos; Webull dstrbuto fucto The Webull dstrbuto fucto s usually used, accepted ad recommeded the lterature. It proed ot oly adapted for the descrpto of the statstcal propertes of the wd but ges a good agreemet wth the expermetal data [5]. The fucto of Webull dstrbuto wth two parameters for a place at a partcular tme s ge by [5-] k k k f exp, () c c c where (expressed m/s) s the speed of the wd, whle s a admesoal factor of form whch characterzes the frequecy dstrbuto ad c s the scale factor whch has the dmeso speed. The determato of k ad c called parameters of Webull leads to the kowg of the dstrbuto of the wds for a ge ste. I order to fd these Webull dstrbuto s parameters, oe usually use oe of the followg fe methods:.. Mea stadard deato method or emprcal method (MSDM) Oe ca use the MSDM to estmate the Webull parameters ad whe the mea wd speed ad stadard deatos are aalable [6-7].

Webull dstrbuto fucto aalyss The Webull dstrbuto parameters hae bee calculated for daly wd speed data for 7-6 for, ad. The shape ad scale parameters (k ad c) for each rego are estmated by the fe methods metoed aboe. As show Table, a comparso of shape parameter (k) ad scale parameter (c) reeals that: The alues of scale parameters for, ad foud by MSDM, MOM, EPFM, ad MLM are good agreemet; Except LSRM whch fds slghtly dfferet alues of scale parameter rage of.. The alue of scale parameter s less tha for the rego of lower temperature ad hgher tha for the rego of hgh temperature, whle the LSRM estmatg the alue of shape parameter s less tha measured alue of the other methods. For the rego of lower temperature (that s ), the alue of shape parameter s hghest tha the rego of hgh temperature, ad respectely. The comparso of measured ad predcted mea wd speeds s preseted Table, showg that the estmated alue of mea wd speeds foud by MSDM, MOM, EPFM are detcal wth measured oe. The correlato coeffcet betwee measured ad predcted mea wd speeds s ge Table4 whch we ca that they are more adequate for the rego of hgh temperature, ad respectely, tha the rego of lower temperature,. Table 5 summarzes the predcto accuracy results for the preseted models. The actual data ad the theoretcal probablty dstrbuto fucto (PDF) geerated wth the help of shape ad scale parameters are plotted for each rego Fgure, whch we ca see that the Webull shape ad scale parameters calculated by usg the EPFM show ery fe agreemet tha the other Webull shape ad scale parameters estmated usg the other fourth methods.. Effects of temperature: Basc equato to predct the relatoshp betwee wd speed ad temperature data I order to study the relatoshp betwee temperatures ad wd speed, the temperature data hae bee also collected, leadg by plottg both the wd speed ad the temperature ersus tme as show Fgures ad to the followg remarks: The Ctes hag hgher temperature, that s ad Garoua respectely hae hgher wd speed tha that of the cty of the lower temperature,. Therefore hgher the temperatures, hgher the wd speeds ad lower the temperatures, lower wd speed.

Fgure 6 shows the aually arato of Webull, maxmum etropes ad maxmum etropes fucto of temperature dstrbuto... Computed MEP based wd speed dstrbuto ad effects of temperature The Lagraga parameters of Eq.(4) subjected to costrats (5) are obtaed by usg the Newto-Raphso terate method for the mothly dstrbutos, leadg to the probablty desty fucto plotted Fg. 4 wth the collected data. I order to check the effect of temperature o the wd speed dstrbuto, let us cosder here the wd as a stochastc eet, meag that wd s upredctable ad wthout a stable patter or order (It has bee proed that all atural eets are stochastc pheomeo). Let us ow cosder that wd s goered by two collecte arables, the temperature, ad the wd speed. Whe the wd speed part s cosdered to act aloe, the MEP based wd speed dstrbuto s ge by Eq.(4), satsfyg the costrats (5). Whe the temperature s takg aloe to accout, the wd speed probablty dstrbuto ca be ge by the followg expresso m m g exp () kt kt B B where m s the effecte mass of ar, k B m kg s K s the Boltzma costat.

GENERAL CONCLUSION The temperature ad the wd characterstcs hae bee aalyzed for three meteorologcal statos, amely: Both ad the Far North Rego of Cameroo, ad the West rego, these regos beg submtted to dfferet clmates. The studes hae bee performed by usg fe umercal methods (MSDM, MOM, EPFM, LSRM ad MLM) for the determato of the Webull dstrbuto parameters, that s the scale ad shape oes, whch are used to geerate the probablty dstrbuto fucto. From these obous results, RMSE ad Χ tests are performed gg alues the recommeded rage suggestg relablty of the methods used for estmatg Webull parameters ad cosequetly a better approxmato of measured wd speed data dstrbuto. Next, by plottg both the speed ad temperature aratos ersus the tme, we foud the fucto gg the depedecy of the temperature ad the speed, whch s terestg sce the ste for wd turbes stallato ca be studed by usg ether the temperature or the wd speed data. Next, the Maxmum etropes fucto of temperature dstrbuto s ftted to measure wd speed dstrbuto. The agreemet betwee the obsered wd speed dstrbutos, maxmum etropes dstrbuto ad Maxmum etropes fucto of temperature dstrbuto was aalyzed by performg statstcal tests, such as RMSE ad Χ tests.
