Energy is essential for any country's economic growth and is inevitable in improving the standard of life of its citizens. Since independence, India has spent considerable resources on increasing its energy capacity. As a result, the country's energy generation capacity has increased considerably. Wind energy is a clean and eco-friendly energy source and is increasingly being accepted as a major complementary energy source for securing a sustainable and clean energy for future in India. The appropriate wind speed distribution is the key to assess the wind resource at a particular location. In this paper, the three-parameter Weibull distribution is used to estimate the capacity factor at different heights. This research provides information of wind characteristics of potential sites and helps in selecting suitable wind turbines.
