Abstract: In this paper, a systematic analysis of hourly wind speed data obtained from four potential wind generation sites in North Dakota is conducted. The power spectra of the data exhibited a power law decay characteristic of 1/falpha processes with possible long range correlations. The temporal scaling properties of the records were studied using multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis {em MFDFA}. It is seen that the records at all four locations exhibit similar scaling behavior which is also reflected in the multifractal spectrum determined under the assumption of a binomial multiplicative cascade model.
