Abstract
This paper focuses on analyzing wind characteristics at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology. Wind characteristics are site dependents, so it is reasonable that different wind regimes may have different wind speed distributions. Distributions appeared in the literature are revisited and a comparison between these distributions is carried out. Modified maximum likelihood method in Weibull distribution has shown better results over other. Justus and Mikhail method is used for vertical extrapolation of wind power density for higher heights. As a conclusion, the highest wind energy potential value was found in the month of June while the lowest value was encountered in November.
