Abstract

The use of wind energy is an alternative for generating energy from a clean source. On the other hand, renewable energies are highly susceptible to climate variability. Wind speeds may change due to changes in weather. Energy planning must take into account the influence that the future climate scenario will have on renewable energy production. Global climate models (GCMs) and regional climate models (RCMs) take into account a series of parameters, such as the intensity and speed of winds, to project future temporal climate conditions. The use of results from different models ensures greater reliability to the data generated. The present work aimed to carry out a bibliographic review of works related to the use of global and regional climate models that simulate the impacts of climate change on wind energy, published in international journals. The research was carried out in the Science Direct and Web of Science – Main Collection (Clarivate Analytics) – databases, using a set of pre-determined keywords. Based on the results, it was possible to understand how renewable energy generation through wind will be affected by climate change.
