Estudio estadístico de la velocidad y la dirección del viento en los departamentos de Atlántico y Bolívar en Colombia

Abstract

Currently, in Colombia the percentage of electricity generation from renewable sources is very low, with wind power being the largest share with 0.1% of electricity demand. To achieve a more robust energy security in the medium and long term, in Colombia there must be an energy policy that takes into account the complementarities and implementation of technologies and energy sources with an important availability throughout the national territory. In the north of Colombia, specifically in the Caribbean region, renewable resources are wide and varied, which favors the transition to this new model of energy generation. In this article, a statistical study based on the analysis of wind variables such as wind speed and direction is carried out, and from the results, which show a great potential, it can be inferred that the energy demand of the region could be supplied from wind farms, so that there would be an efficient use of the energy resource available in the region, specifically in the Atlantic department, where appreciable values of this resource were found.
