Estimating wind power potential in multiple locations within mesoregion Fronteira Sul, Brazil

Abstract

On the basis of the wind regime in 16 sites located in mesoregion Fronteira Sul and its surroundings, the wind power potential is assessed by using the method of bins and the wind velocity data. The results are given in terms of average extractable power per square meter and index of serviceable winds for each of the sites and for the four seasons from Summer (2011/2012) to Spring (2012).
