Abstract

The short-term forecast assessment of the variable
wind for Cuba with the mesoscale numerical model
Weather Research Forecast (WRF) was performed; for
this, was used wind power values of 2008 on 9 Meteorological
towers of Reference to the Cuban wind
program at 09 and 21 UTC, grouped into two clusters
according to their geographical location, offshore to
inland and near to the costs. Outputs of the Global
Forecast System (GFS) model for the implementation
of WRF were used. The level used toworkwas10
meters which is one of the most significant forwind
power generation levels, where errors of the predictions
and corrections were calculated. The largest
errors were detected in towers near shore. Finally
the method used to make corrections was effective
and achieved to reduce the errors significantly.
