Includes bibliographical references (page 6). "In order to facilitate the application of wind data to the use of wind for power, the Atmospheric Environment Service (AES) has published "Climatic Data Sheet", CDS 3-76. This publication gives the mean number of hours of wind and associated energy (theoretical) for each of various speed classes for 137 Canadian stations. Data are given for the year and for selected months, viz. January and for the windiest and least windy months, at each station. In addition, because most wind machines do not generate power from winds of lower speeds and are feathered at higher speeds, the circular gives cumulative totals of energy for speed in ranges greater than 6 mph (10 km/h) and less than 36 mph (58 km/h). While considering the possibilities of utilizing the wind as a source of energy at a suburban or farm location, it was recognized that estimates of the monthly average total daily energy would be useful. This led to a linear regression analysis of the relationship between the monthly cumulative energy totals given in CDS 3-76 and the corresponding monthly average windspeeds given in "Canadian Normals". As a result, an empirical formula for estimating the energy available from the wind using the monthly mean windspeed has been derived"--Introduction. Wind power Mathematical models.
