Abstract
Concern about environmental impacts has accelerated the search for renewable energy sources, which wind energy was highlighted. From then on, the search began for reduce uncertainty values and the wind farms implantation risk. The power estimation values derive from the adjustment parameters of the Weibull curves, which represent the frequency distribution of wind occurrence in the analyzed region. This paper aims to estimate these parameters for the city of Petrolina - PE, Brazil by applying the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm and compare it with the results obtained by deterministic methods. The HS method obtained better results in the analyzed region than the deterministic methods.
