AVILA-PRATS, Deivis; ALESANCO-GARCIA, Ramón  and  GARCIA-GARCIA, Feliciano. Cost of the kW h generated with wind energy in Cuba, analyzing the data of wind of a region of good potentials. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2010, vol.13, n.3, pp. 38-45. ISSN 1815-5944.

In this study, the results of the analysis made about the costs of production of the kW h of wind energy that can be obtained in Cuba are shown. For the realization of the same one the data of wind of six meteorological stations are processed, selecting for the study the stations with the maximum value of annual mean wind speed. A technical assessment has been made of electricity generation from four wind turbines having capacity of (800 kW, 900 kW, 2000 kW and 2300 kW). The yearly energy output for the four different turbines were calculated for the station with the maximum value of annual mean wind speed. It is determined the cost of production of the kW h of wind energy generated with the different machines, taking 1400 dollars per kW installed like inversion cost.

Keywords : wind energy; Weibull distribution; wind energy production cost.
