Preliminary wind speed study in San Julian in reference to wind power generation
In this paper, a preliminary description of the characteristics of wind speed at 10 m in the meteorological station San Julián Aero, Santa Cruz, Argentina was performed. The analysis was conducted in order to assess the wind power generation capacity in the region. A comprehensive quality control pr...
