Energia Eólica e o estudo de caso do Parque Eólico Alegria.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the wind and pointing at the prospect of a better use of wind power as a renewable source for electricity generation as a complement to the current generation model. We begin with a bibliographic review, including a brief study of the winds and the basic principles of operation of the wind turbines and the technologies employed in its operation. Are exposed data about the national scenario of wind energy, with emphasis on the Northeast. Then, some applications are presented sustainable wind and trends for the future of the electric grid. Finally, we present the structure of the wind farm Alegria, on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte.
