The use of wind speed probability density functions is a standard practice to represent different wind regimes. Generally, these regimes are distinguished by the following three characteristics: the shape of the distribution in the central wind speeds, amount of the calm wind speeds (CWS), and extreme wind speeds (EWS). An inā€depth review has highlighted that none of the parametric distributions available is suitable to represent the three main characteristics at the same time.
