MTech studet o mechacal egg.,iit(bhu),varaas,u.p.,ida,umar.amtsgh06@gmal.com Abstract I ths scope o study, a ew method has bee desed or estmatg the parameters o Webull dstrbuto or alog wd load calculato. IS stadard computes square o the mea wd elocty recorded oer a perod o tme to calculate alog wd load. The Ida stadard code o practce o wd load (IS-875 (part-3), 987) s a bt outdated ad requres prompt amedmets to draw party wth other teratoal codes. Ths paper uses mea o the square wd elocty or better estmato o the alog mea wd load. Ths paper wll help to mproe exstg atoal code o stadard, as ad whe t taes up the reso o IS-875 (part-3) Keywords: Wd speed, Load patter actor, Alog wd load, Webull dstrbuto Itroducto Alog mea wd load has a proouced eect o most o the structures ad hece ts detaled aalyss s dspesble.

Apart rom daly ad seasoal aratos, the wd speed patter may chage rom year to year. The wd speed s radom arable ad or deg the dstrbuto o wd elocty a regme oer ge perod o tme statstcal model s requred. I recet years, Webull dstrbuto has bee uersally accepted or deg the wd speed requecy dstrbuto. I Webull dstrbuto, the aratos wd elocty are characterzed by the two uctos; () The probablty desty ucto ad () The cumulate dstrbuto ucto. The probablty desty ucto ( ()) dcates the racto o tme (or probablty) or whch the wd s at a ge elocty. It s ge by ( ) s s exp s () Here, s the Webull shape actor ad s s scale actor. The cumulate dstrbuto ucto o the elocty ges us the racto o tme (or probablty) that the wd elocty s equal or lower tha. Thus the cumulate dstrbuto F() s the tegral o the probablty desty ucto. Thus, F( ) exp s Aerage wd elocty o a regme, ollowg the Webull dstrbuto s ge by s Γ + Seeral methods hae bee proposed or estmatg the Webull parameters. Here we wll dscuss see deret methods, cludg ew oe ad rstly preseted ths paper. Graphcal method I the graphcal method, we trasorm the cumulate dstrbuto ucto to a lear orm, adoptg logarthmc scales [Chag (0)].

From Eq. (6), ges the slope o ths le ad l s represets the tercept. Maxmum lelhood method The Webull dstrbuto ca be tted to tme-seres wd data usg the maxmum lelhood method as suggested by Stees ad Smulders (979). The maxmum lelhood estmato method s dcult to sole, sce umercal teratos are eeded to determe the parameters o the Webull dstrbuto. I ths method, the parameters ad s are determed accordg to the equatos below [Ghosh (999)]: l l s (8) (7) Where s the wd speed tme step ad s the umber o ozero wd speed data pots. Eq.

Moded maxmum lelhood method Whe wd speed data are aalable requecy dstrbuto ormat, a arato o the maxmum lelhood method ca be appled The Webull parameters are estmated usg the ollowg two equatos [Seguro et al.

The hourly mea wd speed data aalable by Ida Meteorologcal Departmet, Pue coerg the perod o , , ad respectely, were used or estmatg Webull parameters. For comparg the ececy o the aboe metoed methods, our statstcal tests le R (coecet o determato), (ch-square), K-S ad RMSE (root mea square error) were used. The parameters o these tests are deed by: R N N ( y x ) ( y y) () χ N ( y x ) y () N RMSE ( ( y x ) ) N (3) K-S max ( y x ) (4) Where, N s the umber o obseratos, y s the relate requecy o the obsered data ad x s the relate requecy o Webull dstrbuto.

12 Proc. o the 8th Asa-Pacc Coerece o Wd Egeerg (APCWE-VIII) Cocluso Load actor method ca be ewed as the most preerable method or wd load calculato o structures. Ths has bee ered by statstcal aalyss doe through a comparso o ths method wth other sx exstg methods. It has bee obsered that load actor method ges the smallest arato mea square eloctes whe compared wth the obsered alues most cases o actual wd data ad also rom smulated data. Load actor method ges the best estmate o mea square elocty or small alues o shape parameter. As the alue o shape parameter creases, deato rom the obsered alue o mea square elocty also creases.
