Abstract

Wind energy has become one of the fastest growing renewable energies in the last decade. In Colombia, the wind potential has important capacities to contribute to the country's progress in terms of energy, being a potential source of sustainable development. This article seeks to evaluate the generation of electrical energy from an offshore wind turbine of the VESTAS company in different points of the Caribbean region of Colombia based on wind speeds, scale parameters and shape parameters, offered by the Instituto of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies of Colombia IDEAM, in order to analyze the Caribbean coast as a candidate for offshore wind energy production in Colombia. Based on the aforementioned data, statistical calculations were made in order to estimate the annual energy production in each of the points of interest and thus determine the most feasible places and departments for the installation of offshore wind farms in Colombia.
