Abstract

Wind energy is seen as one of the promising generation of electricity, as a source of cheap and renewable, is benefit to reduce the environmental impacts of the dam. Along with the hydroelectric networks, the energy produced by the wind will help to increase power generation capacity in the country. That from speed data and direction municipality Wind Craíbas in the corresponding period 2014 - 2015, estimated the wind potential of the region. The tool used in the treatment of the collected data was the Wasp, making simulations of three different levels of measurement, producing a fictitious wind farm with powerful wind turbine. With the model, WASP helps estimate the probability distribution of Weibull and scale parameters A and K. he predominant wind direction is southeast and the best wind power and intensity density levels took place in 70m and 100m high , with about 201 W / m² and 243 W / m² respectively. But when evalua ted the inclusion of fictitious wind farm, the best use happened at 100m tall with production around 73.039 GWh , which can be attributed this improvement to increased efficiency of the wind turbine used in the simulation.

A energia eólica é vista como umas das promissoras na geração de energia elétrica, sendo uma fonte de baixo custo e renovável, tem como benefício à diminuição dos impactos ambientais causados pelas Hidrelétricas.  Em conjunto com as redes hidrelétricas, a energia produzida através dos ventos contribuirá com o aumento da capacidade de produção de energia do país. Que a partir de dados de velocidade e direção de vento do município de Craíbas no período correspondente a 2014 - 2015, estimou-se o potencial eólico da região. A ferramenta utilizada no tratamento dos dados levantados foi o Wasp, fazendo simulações de três níveis diferentes de medição, produzindo um parque eólico fictício com aerogeradores potentes. Com o auxílio do modelo WASP estimou-se a distribuição da probabilidade de Weibull e os parâmetros de escala A e forma K. A direção predominante do vento é de Sudeste e a melhor densidade de potência e intensidade do vento aconteceu no nível de 100m de altura, cerca de 243 W/m². Porém quando avaliado a inclusão do parque eólico fictício, o melhor aproveitamento aconteceu a 100m de altura com produção em torno de 73,039 GWh, atribuir essa melhora a maior eficiência do aerogerador utilizado na simulaç

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
