Estação meteorológica de baixo custo voltada ao estudo de implantação de um micro aerogerador

Abstract

Currently in Brazil the winds are being used to generate electric energy through wind power generators. Bahia is among the states in the country with the highest investment in wind farms and this is the result of the good wind levels found in the state. However, the installation of these wind generators requires the implementation of feasibility studies. In Feira de Santana, in the interior of Bahia at the Center for Science and Technology in Energy and Sustainability, there is the idea of implementing a micro wind generator, which is necessary to prepare a feasibility study. The elaboration of studies aimed at the implantation of wind generators depends on basic meteorological data such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity. Therefore, the present work develops a low cost meteorological station relying on action research methods, aiming the collection of meteorological data for the future feasibility study of implantation of a micro wind generator in the student center.
