Interpolation method is vital when estimating wind speed especially for a location which do not has a weather forecast station. In this study, three methods of spatial interpolation which are Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Kriging and Spline were compared to determine their suitability for estimating wind speed. All the methods are evaluated by using standard error regression and correlation coefficient analysis. Based on the results obtained, it was shown that Kriging is more suitable when estimating wind speed for a study point within an enclosed area while IDW and Spline are more suitable for study point between two locations. Therefore, the suitability of different spatial interpolation method is varies for different arrangements of location. Future studies with more data collected, denser sample points and different cases can be carried out to obtain a more accurate result specialized Yap Yee Von Faculty of Civil Engineering and Earth Resources Project Paper (Bachelors of Civil Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang – 2015 Bibliography : p. 40-41 Faculty of Civil Engineering and Earth Resources Dissertations Universities and Colleges Dissertations Theses THE0000795(Local) http://ecollib.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/25894 http://ecollib.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/25894 UMP 151130 20251117113301.0 vtls000092315
