Abstract :
Galician climate conditions present the right ambience for wind turbines power generators during winter and spring seasons even though its climate change may affect wind velocity and moist air density by reducing the energy conversion. Planet Global Heating was analyzed for Galician climate showing a rise in the average temperature in each season. In this paper twenty-four wind turbines were analyzed in a typical year to get a model that relates weather to power conversion. Once done that, the effect of the climate change was evaluated in Galician wind farms showing a 10% fall during spring and summer season. Therefore, future researches about new technologies more suitable for that work conditions like low wind turbines must be done.
