Abstract

This paper outlines proposed testing criteria for wind speed time series (WSTS) models. The objective is to assess their suitability for reliability analysis that is dependent on an accurate representation of weather patterns. Two WSTS models were analysed for their suitability against these criteria. The Markov model was found to be suitable for resource assessment, but would require modification before it could represent weather patterns, whilst the random sampling model could represent weather patterns more accurately, but could not be used for resource assessment.
