Enhancing wind direction prediction of South Africa wind energy hotspots with Bayesian mixture modeling

Abstract Wind energy production depends not only on wind speed but also on wind direction. Thus, predicting and estimating the wind direction for sites accurately will enhance measuring the wind energy potential. The uncertain nature of wind direction can be presented through probability distributio...
