SR7  Energia Eólica, Solar e Nuclear    Titulo: WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION : PARAMETERS OPTIMIZATION   Resumo : ABSTRACT. FOR THE SPECIFICATION OF THE WIND REGIME, USE OF THE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION IS GENERALLY MADE. THE DEFINITION OF THIS DISTRIBUTION REQUIRES THE VALUE OF TWO PARAMETERS: C, THE SCALE AND K, THE FORM FACTOR. THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS OF FINDING THESE VALUES, GENERALLY USING THE WIND SPEED MEAN VALUE AND THE STANDARD DEVIATION. IN THIS PAPER AN ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUE, WHICH USE GENETIC ALGORITHM, IS PRESENTED; THIS NEW TECHNIQUE PRODUCES FAR BETTER RESULTS THAN THE TRADITIONALLY USED ONES. KEYWORDS : WIND ENERGY, WIND REGIME, WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION, GENETIC ALGORITHM.     Autores : Araújo, Maria Regina Pereira Guedes, Vanessa Gonçalves Hirata, Miguel Hiroo Silva , Patricia de Castro     Trabalho Completo :   COBEM99 | Comissão  Organizadora | Palestras | Sessões Técnicas | Autor | Simpósios e Sessões Especiais | Revisores |  Título  dos  Trabalhos | Local
