For the sustained wind criteria in the placement of turbines, one can perform wind spectrum analysis (accurate but hard to interpolate and gather) or generalized extreme value analysis (up to the daily maxima).
Here is the GEV analysis of the weather stations across PH:
Here is the GEV analysis of the weather stations across PH:
μ represents the base wind speed, which is the expected annual maximum. σ and ζ represents the steepness ("slope") of the extreme value function. The steeper the extreme value function, the higher the difference between annual max from historical max.
The goal in selecting optimal locations for wind turbines is to have a significant μ, but a lesser σ. However, even after this analysis, one must still project the wind spectra by the evaluation of the wind exposure, which is related to the topography and atmospheric boundaries.

(Note: Even Doc Gerry is criticizing relying solely on the GEV analysis of synoptic data. He added inputs to my graduate research on which a TC event simulations must be done to project the maxima)

One must also evaluate the wind rose to determine which direction the wind turbines must be oriented.
