In wind erosion modelling and assessment, wind speed is a crucial variable. Available records for large regions of the world generally show relatively low temporal resolution. The effect of using wind data of different ...

The rapid growth of wind generation in northeast Brazil has led to multiple benefits to many different stakeholders of energy industry, especially because the wind is a renewable resource - an abundant and ubiquitous power ...

Bearing in mind the current and pressing need for an update of the existing Chilean power supply system which has been remarkably influenced by new requirements the search for new energy supply sources has become a top priority.

This paper discusses some features and conditions that characterize the Zonda wind, focusing particularly on the implications for wind engineering applications. This kind of wind, typical of mountainous regions, is far ...

The wind power as a large alternative energy source appear in Uruguay. A nested method to obtain the mean wind velocity time series at complex terrain sites and describe the turbulence was developed. Sites with mean velocity ...

Due to the great progress of the wind market in the world, several studies have been developing in order to optimize the performance of wind turbines. In this perspective, the present project was made for design aerodynamically ...

This work presents the development of a wind turbine emulator which consists of an induction motor driven by a frequency inverter. The aim of this paper is to propose a hardware setup, which allows testing wind energy ...
