Tóm tắt

The present paper discusses wind and wind power characteristics in a region north of 40° S (North Patagonia, Argentina) as well as wind power projects sustainability. Extreme wind episodes influence most economic and social regional activities. Mean flow pattern was studied in three North Patagonia sites: Neuquén, Mari Menuco and Cutral-Có, by sampling analysis of wind direction and intensity during a year. Gusts were quantified and strong winds were studied. Available meteorological power was also estimated. It was observed that North Patagonia is a place of great wind power potential. However, the energy available, which is related to prevailing strong winds, is also associated to high gust occurrence which certainly restricts exploitation.
