The wind velocity and density data were used to generate the cartography records for the identification of the areas of the country with the most wind  potential, locating the areas of the country with high energy potential such as the region of La Guajira and Nudo de Los Pastos. This study provides an estimation of the wind energy capacity of Colombia, arriving to the conclusion that due to its geographical characteristics the country could be able to satisfy its energy demand with the use of wind turbines.</p> <p> </p>}, number={4}, journal={Noria Investigación Educativa }, author={Albadan Molano, David Esteban and Salas Pérez, Cristian and Coy Castro, Daniel Felipe}, year={2019}, month={jul.}, pages={79–89} }
