Estudo do campo de velocidades do vento com utilização dos modelos computacionais: WRF e WINDSTATION®

Abstract

The Wind energy represents an energy resource of great importance today, due mainly of the growing need for sources capable of generate energy without damage the environment. In order to determine the wind potential of a place is necessary to know the wind conditions on site, as well as the terrain features. The present word aims to show initial results from the interaction between software WindStation® and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF), and the possibility of complementation between them for modeling the wind field in complex terrain.
