This study analyses the growth of wind energy in the most important regions of the world and make a comparison with Costa Rica. The regions of the study include Europe, United States, China and Latin America. This article is also intended to show Costa Rica’s investments in terms of building and maintenance of wind farms. There is a relationship between the costs of installing and maintaining wind farms and the development of installed wind capacity. For the sake of clarity, a real example from Tejona’s Costa Rica wind farm is provided. This analysis shows that Costa Rica is a leader in wind energy in Central America and also stands out in the Latin American region and the Caribbean, but needs to overcome some challenges in the economy and costs related to wind energy to achieve higher goals in wind power production. El desarrollo de la energía eólica crece en todo el mundo y juega un papel importante en cómo se suple el planeta de energía. Este estudio analiza el crecimiento de esta fuente de energía en las regiones más importantes del mundo y lo compara con el caso de Costa Rica. Las regiones en estudio son Europa, Estados Unidos, China y América Latina. Se muestra la inversión que se hace en Costa Rica en cuanto a construcción y mantenimiento de parques eólicos y se encuentra una relación entre estos costos y el desarrollo de la capacidad instalada en potencia eólica. Para dar claridad, se ha empleado el uso de un ejemplo real, el cual consiste en el parque eólico de Tejona, Costa Rica. Con este estudio se demuestra que Costa Rica es un líder en el campo de la energía eólica en Centroamérica, pero necesita superar algunos retos en los costos de la energía eólica para alcanzar mayores metas en la producción de energía basada en el viento. 2022-08-01 2023-02-16T16:05:33Z 2023-02-16T16:05:33Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/6330 10.18845/tm.v35i7.6330 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/14128 spa eng https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/6330/6231 https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/6330/6098 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 text/html application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica (entidad editora) Tecnología en marcha Journal; 2022: Vol. 35 especial.
