Costa Rica no posee estudios por zonas de manera específica como se plantea, que permita a los profesionales en el área tomar decisiones en función del potencial y características del viento. Con el presente estudio se brinda por primera vez la caracterización del recurso eólico en la provincia de Cartago. La caracterización se realiza para la capa límite superficial, con datos medidos a 10 m de altura sobre el nivel del suelo tomando la magnitud de la velocidad y dirección del viento obtenidas de ocho estaciones meteorológicas. Durante la caracterización del recurso eólico se analizaron los datos de forma estadística y usando códigos computacionales que permitieron obtener resultados de la información colectada. Al procesar la información brindada por las estaciones meteorológicas se determina que los promedios de velocidades del viento se encuentran entre los 3 m/s y 5 m/s a una altura de 10 m sobre la superficie. Además, la intensidad de turbulencia se registra entre 15% y 30% y se determinaron dos periodos bien marcados en cuanto a la magnitud del viento, de noviembre a febrero para intensidades fuertes y septiembre a octubre para intensidades más bajas. Para la provincia de Cartago las direcciones que predominan son las componentes Norte o Este, siendo las dos componentes más recurrentes en los datos analizados.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Wind resource assessment is essential for the development and implementation of wind power systems. Costa Rica have no studies by zones in a specific way as proposed, which allows professionals in the area to make decisions based on the potential and characteristics of the wind. This study provides for the first time the characterization of the wind resource in the province of Cartago. The characterization is carried out for the surface boundary layer, with data measured at 10 m above ground level, taking the magnitude of the wind speed and direction obtained from eight meteorological stations. During the characterization of the wind resource, the data was analyzed statistically and using computational codes that allowed obtaining results from the information collected. When processing the information provided by the meteorological stations, it is determined that the average wind speeds are between 3 m/s and 5 m/s at a height of 10 m above the surface. In addition, the intensity of turbulence is recorded between 15% and 30% and two well marked periods were determined in terms of the magnitude of the wind, from November to February for strong intensities and September to October for lower intensities. For the province of Cartago, the directions that predominate are the North or East components, being the two most recurrent components in the analyzed data.]]></p></abstract>
