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 in‐depth review has highlighted that none of the parametric distributions available is suitable to represent the three main characteristics at the same time.
