Abstract

Anemometric data from a measurement campaign performed in the whole province of Belluno (Italy) have been analyzed in order to evaluate its wind potential. Data collected from 15 anemometric stations, placed at a height of 10 m over the ground, have been considered. The temporal evolution of the average wind velocity in each measurement site has been computed, as well as the Weibull distribution, allowing a comparison between measured data and the prediction of the Italian Wind Atlas.
