Comparison of wind resource from physical and virtual weather stations in the municipality of La Estrella Tabasco

This paper presents a comparison of the wind resource in the coastal zone of Tabasco, Mexico for planning and designing on-shore wind farms. This comparison is made through physical and virtual weather stations called MERRA2 and ERA5. The wind characteristics at the chosen site are presented, then the wind resource analysis is made. The power density will be determined and based on this, the wind farm will be designed with the wind turbine and its layout that obtains the highest power and electricity production.
