SUMMARY:

The Northeast region of Brazil (NEB) stands out in the national wind energy production
scenario, with 523 wind farms installed out of a total of 619 in Brazil. With favorable
winds for wind energy production mainly in the second half of the year, there is still
room for prospecting and expanding wind farms, given that there are still states with
few or no wind farms installed, such as Alagoas. To optimize the choice of the best
locations for installing/expanding wind farms, data related to wind, such as predominant
direction and speeds at different heights, are increasingly necessary, demanding the
most accurate measurements and estimates possible of this atmospheric variable. In this
sense, in this work we used wind speed data near the surface from the latest version of a

gridded analysis of high spatial resolution (0.1° x 0.1°) on a daily scale, made available
by Xavier et al. (2022) from January 1, 1961 to July 31, 2020. Such data were used for
analysis and prediction, using the canonical correlation analysis technique, in addition
to allowing homogeneous regions to be identified in the NEB, as well as statistical tests
will be applied to check trends and homogeneity of time series.
