Abstract

This paper objective was to study the variation of speed wind anddirection, and to determine the wind power in the selected region. It is presentedin this study, a preliminary assessment of wind potential in the municipality ofJaguaruana, coastline region of Ceará State, using data of speed wind obtainedin a Meteorological Data Acquisition Equipment (Plataforma de Coleta deDados - PCD) of Fundação Cearense de Meteorologia e Recursos Hídricos (FUNCEME), from January 2004 to December 2006. For this, it was identifiedthe wind speed profile for 110 meters, with that the Weibull distributionparameters was estimated to determine the monthly average of density of windpower for the three years studied. In accordance with the results presented inthis paper, it was conclude that in Jaguaruana the predominant wind directionis from east with variations between northeast and southeast. The region has agood wind potential with excellent results in power density. The results showedthat the location of Jaguaruana obtained satisfactory values and good resultsfor the capacity factor, ranging between 20% and 35%.
