La utilización eficaz del potencial energético del viento en una región promisoria requiere de adecuadas mediciones de su velocidad obtenidas mediante la instalación de cierto número de torres con anemómetros; estos datos se procesan y los resultados caracterizan dicho potencial. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo resolver un importante problema práctico: dada una región, determinar cuántas torres de muestreo deben ser instaladas y dónde hacerlo para que las mediciones obtenidas constituyan un sistema de datos representativo para el estudio de la velocidad del viento y del potencial energético. Se propone un procedimiento donde a partir de información previa sobre la topográfica, la rugosidad y la velocidad del viento en la región y su entorno, se pueden obtener las coordenadas de las torres mejor ubicadas sobre la base del cálculo del error probable medio de las estimaciones puntuales sobre la región.The effective use of wind energy potential in a promising region requires adequate speed measurements obtained by installing a number of towers with anemometers, these data are processed and the results characterize this potential. This research aims to solve an important practical problem: given a region, determine how many sampling towers should be installed and where to do the measurements obtained to constitute a system of representative data for the study of wind speed and energy potential. From a process where prior information on the topographical, roughness and wind speed in the region and beyond, can be obtained the coordinates best placed tower on the basis of calculating the average probable error of the point estimates of the region is proposed.

En la Parte I de este artículo fue establecido el algoritmo general de un procedimiento para el diseño del muestreo de la velocidad del viento cuyos resultados tengan la capacidad de minimizar el error probable medio durante una estimación del comportamiento espacio-temporal de la velocidad del viento. En la Parte II se describe el algoritmo de selección de puntos de muestreo y el algoritmo para el cálculo del error probable de estimación. El procedimiento para diseñarlas redes de muestreo eólico es implementado en una aplicación informática que facilita la aplicación del procedimiento a la selección de los puntos donde se ubicarán las torres anemométricas en una región promisoria del municipio Moa en la Provincia Holguín, Cuba. Los resultados obtenidos son comparados con el diseño obtenido en el año 2007 por la Empresa de Ingeniería y Proyectos de Electricidad del Ministerio de Energía y Minas de la República de Cuba.In Part I of this article was established the general algorithmof a procedure for the sampling design of the wind speed and the results have the ability to minimize the average probable error for an estimate of the conduct spatiotemporal wind speed.

The results are compared with the design obtained in 2007 by the Empresa de Ingeniería y Proyectos de Electricidad of the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Republic of Cuba.

El aprovechamiento del potencial energético del viento requiere obtener suficientes y adecuadas mediciones de la velocidad y la dirección del viento. A partir de estas se modela el comportamiento de estas variables y se calculan los parámetros que caracterizan el potencial; con estos resultados se diseñan los parques eólicos seleccionando los aerogeneradores más convenientes, determinando sus ubicaciones espaciales y diseñando la infraestructura tecnológica. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo resolver uno de los problemas prácticos más comunes durante este proceso: la ausencia de suficientes datos medidos. La solución que se propone se basa en la estimación de los datos ausentes mediante el Método de Inverso de una Potencia de la Distancia, el cual es aplicado a un caso de estudio denominado Colina 4. Los resultados muestran que el método es viable para cualquier caso semejante y que los valores estimados son coherentes con los datos medidos.The use of the wind energy potential requires obtaining sufficient and appropriate measurements of velocity and wind direction. From these measurements, the behavior of these variables is modeled and the parameters of this potential are calculated; with these results the wind farms are designed, selecting the most convenient wind turbines, determining their space locations and designing the technological infrastructure. The present research aims to solve one of the most common practical problems during this process: the absence of sufficient measured data. The solution proposed is based on the estimation of the missing data by means of the Inverse of a Power of the Distance Method, which is applied to a case of study named Colina 4. The results show that the method is viable for any similar case and that the estimated values are coherent with the measured data.
