Description
Summary:Purpose: This project consisted of a technical study of the location of a wind microgeneration system and the collection of data that impact on said system at the La Bella farm in a rural area of the municipality of Acevedo (Huila, Colombia).   Theoretical framework: The Weibull distribution was used to statistical analysis of the data, which is the most widely used system for calculating wind potential.   Method/design/approach: The study was divided into two phases "previous study" and "intensive study", 95,760 data were collected in total and were statistically analysed using Weibull frequency distribution and WAsP software.   Results and conclusion: The average annual speed of 5.7 and 6.5 m/s, these being higher than the speed necessary to obtain an electric potential.   Research implications: It is concluded that the wind potential is 135.2 W/m2 and 186.2 W/m2 respectively.   Originality/value: The anemometer data acquisition device is an original design assembled for this study. The statistical analysis of the wind using the Weibull distribution was programming like mathematical model in Microsoft Excel and compared with the results obtained by the WAsP Climate Analyst software.
