This paper develops the modeling of wind speed by Weibull distribution in the intention to evaluate wind energy potential and help for designing small wind energy plant in Batouri in Cameroon. The Weibull distribution model was developed using wind speed data collected from a metrological station at the small Airport of Batouri. Four numerical methods (Moment method, Graphical method, Empirical method and Energy pattern factor method) were used to estimate weibull parameters K and C. The application of these four methods is effective using a sample wind speed data set. With some statistical analysis, a comparison of the accuracy of each method is also performed. The study helps to determine that Energy pattern factor method is the most effective (K = 3.8262 and C = 2.4659).
