Abstract

Se ha realizado un estudio del recurso eólico marino existente en las islas Canarias, España. El objetivo ha sido identificar las zonas más viables para aprovechar este recurso y determinar la influencia del oleaje y de la estabilidad atmosférica sobre las mismas. Para llevarlo a cabo, se han empleado los datos obtenidos a partir de la información de la red WANA, la cual se compone de un
conjunto de nodos de las mallas de cálculo del modelo de generación de oleaje WAM, que ha sido forzado por campos de viento generados por el modelo meteorológico High Resolution Limited Area Model. Las zonas que han presentado mejor recurso eólico marino se corresponden con las islas más orientales, produciéndose un incremento en el perfil de la velocidad del viento con situaciones
de estabilidad atmosférica y estados del mar en calma, influyendo en el aprovechamiento del potencial energético eólico marino.

Palabras claves: estabilidad atmosférica, oleaje, modelo meteorológico, islas canarias, horas equivalentes.

Abstract

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.

Key words: atmospheric stability, wave, meteorological model, canary islands, equivalent hours.
