GUILLEMES-PEIRA, Ángel. Influence of waves and atmospheric stability in the evaluation of wind energy potential. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.2, pp. 176-184. ISSN 1815-5944.

This article is a study of the existing offshore wind resource on the Canary Islands (Spain). The objective is to identify the most viable areas in which it can take advantage this resource and determine the influence of waves and atmospheric stability. To carry out this task, it has been used the data obtained from the network information WANA, which consists of a set of nodes of mesh model calculating WAM wave generation, which has been forced by wind fields generated by the meteorological model High Resolution Limited Area Model. It has been taken into account WANA fifty eight nodes that surround the islands, where the volume of data is considered sufficient to assess the wind potential of the study area. Areas with better offshore wind resource corresponding to the eastern islands. It has been demonstrated the influence of waves and atmospheric stability on wind speed and the use of offshore wind resource.

Palavras-chave : atmospheric stability; wave; meteorological model; canary islands; equivalent hours.
