Quantificação Dos Recursos Eólicos No Estado Do Piauí Através De Simulações Computacionais

Abstract

Resumo AbstractWind energy has been prominent in the global context to be a clean energy source and an alternative to the use of conventional sources. As the variability of wind speed and direction depends on climatic conditions, the development of tools that can estimate these quantities have singular role. Thus, this study aims to estimate the wind profile of the state of Piauí through computer simulations using the atmospheric model BRAMS. It was also possible to highlight the wind vector field and the areas of greatest wind potential through computer generated maps.
