Résumé
Modeling wind speed and direction are crucial in several applications such as the estimation of wind energy potential and the study of the long-term effects on engineering structures. While there have been several studies on modeling wind speed, studies on modeling wind direction are limited. In this work, we use a mixture of von Mises distributions to model wind direction. Finite mixtures of von Mises (FMVM) distributions are used to model wind directions at two sites in the United Arab Emirates. The parameters of the FMVM distribution are estimated using the least square method. The results of the research show that the FMVM is the best suited distribution model to fit wind direction at these two sites, compared to other distributions commonly used to model wind direction.
