Abstract
Wind energy is considered one of the most promising natural sources in the world. A wind farm construction site choice requires a accurate study of it, which includes, as one of the decision parameters, the quality of the wind regime in the region. This study is important because it reduces the building wind farms risk in places with low energy efficiency. The power estimation values derive from the Weibull curves adjustment parameters, scale factor c and shape scale k, which represent the frequency distribution of wind occurrence in the analyzed region. This paper aims to estimate these parameters for São Martinho da Serra city, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil,by the Cuckoo Search Optimization (CSO) method and compare them with those obtained by deterministic methods. The CSO method obtained better results in the analyzed region than the deterministic methods.
