Wind Analysis in the Jimaguayú municipality of the Camagüey province for wind exploitation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The direction and speed of the wind were determined over time, as well as at what time of the day wind energy is most used in the Jimaguayú municipality of the Camagüey province, specifically in the La Victoria farm. This work tries to characterize the wind potential in 4 levels of height of the atmosphere to facilitate its energetic exploitation. The data corresponding to the period 1989 - 2018 were studied for the heights of 6, 9, 10 and 12 m in this region and were obtained from the database of the re-analysis of the European Hydrothermodynamic model (ERA-INTERIM), with a spatial resolution of 0.25º x 0.25º, from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). For this, descriptive statistical methods were used, obtaining to know that the greatest wind potential is found between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, at an altitude of 12 m and during the dry season, with the predominant direction of the component East.
