Wind energy and landscape transformations on the coast of Piauiense

Abstract

É necessário abordar os principais elementos do trabalho (Objetivo, metodologia, resultados e considerações finais). This research aims to analyze the transformations caused by the implementation of wind turbines on the coast of Piauí. The study area comprises Wind Energy Complexes 1 and 2, located in the municipalities of Parnaíba and Ilha Grande, in the northern portion of the State of Piauí. The methodological procedures developed for this study were: bibliographic survey, geocartographic analysis through the elaboration of maps and analysis of satellite images and field work. The results indicated significant changes in the landscape where the wind turbines are located, such as deforestation, soil compaction, changes in the dynamics of the dune fields and changes in the lakes that are located around the turbines.
