Wind speed is one the most important variables of the wind phenomena. Thus, it is important to investigate the main temporal and spatial characteristics of the wind speed to benefit greatly from its power. In this study a systematic analysis used in detecting long-term correlations, known as...

Wind speed persistence is a measure of the mean wind speed duration over a given period of time at any location. This definition implies that wind speed persistence means a positive serial correlation in time series. The wind speed persistence provides useful information about the general...

The most ideal site for wind energy production is the area where moderate and continuous or steady-state wind conditions are dominant over a significant percentage of a given period of time. This paper is mainly concerned with wind speed persistence, which is an important factor in maintaining...
