The statistical characteristics of the wind speed in La Ventosa, Oaxaca, Mexico, have been analyzed by using wind speed data recorded by Instituto de Investigaciones Eléctricas (IIE). By grouping the observations by annual, seasonal and wind direction, we show that the wind speed distribution, with calms included, is not represented by the typical two-parameter Weibull function. A mathematical formulation by using a bimodal Weibull&Weibull probability distribution function (PDF) has been developed to analyze the wind speed frequency distribution in that region. The model developed here can be applied for similar regions where the wind speed distribution presents a bimodal PDF.
