this paper is obtained from Sri Lanka
Sustainable Energy Authority, collected
from the data loggers installed in wind
turbines at different heights located at the
site of Pooneryn during the period from
2015 to 2017. III. METHODOLOGY
The case study in this paper is the wind
energy plant of Pooneryn, which has been A. Descriptive Analytics
studied from 2015 to 2017 in each 1 hour
By considering the on site data from 2015
period, the average temperature of the

A wind power plant is set up to generate
electricity for about 25 years. Therefore, a
minimum of 20 years of data analysis is
required to establish a wind power plant.
