The standard cubic spline interpolation (not-a-knot and natural) as well as cubic Hermite polynomial may be produces interpolating curve with negative values on some subintervals. To cater this problem, a new rational cubic spline with three parameters is constructed. This rational spline will be used to preserve the positivity of the wind velocity data. Numerical results shows that the proposed scheme work very well and give visually pleasing interpolating curve on the given domain. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. %Z cited By 2; Conference of 2018 UTP-UMP-VIT Symposium on Energy Systems, SES 2018 ; Conference Date: 18 September 2018 Through 19 September 2018; Conference Code:141921
