Este trabajo evalúa las condiciones necesarias para el emplazamiento de sistemas de generación eólica urbana de baja potencia, considerando su desempeño aerodinámico y su integración en entornos urbanos. Se analizan aerogeneradores convencionales y tecnologías emergentes como las basadas en vibraciones inducidas por vórtices y encauzadores de flujo y su adecuación al contexto urbano. La metodología incluye la necesidad de estudios experimentales, simulaciones numéricas y análisis in situ sobre el comportamiento del viento afectado por turbulencia, ráfagas, efectos de capa límite y geometría urbana. Se sintetizan criterios para la selección de emplazamientos, considerando el recurso eólico, la rugosidad superficial, la morfología edilicia y las restricciones normativas. Los resultados muestran que la eficiencia depende críticamente de la ubicación, con mejoras significativas en zonas elevadas y configuraciones que aprovechan el encauzamiento del flujo. Las tecnologías emergentes evidencian alto potencial para superar limitaciones tradicionales en ruido, vibraciones y mantenimiento.
