Caracterización de variables meteorológicas a ser usadas como fuentes de energía en la región sur del Ecuador

Abstract

This work aims to characterize meteorological variables such as solar radiation and wind speed to be used as renewable energy sources in the south of the country, through satellite images and data from weather stations. With the help of information from meteorological stations and satellite images of the study area, we tried to create a map database which presents potential use of natural resources to generate clean energy. The benefit that is created with this research is to generate sources of information about renewable energy in the south of Ecuador that can be taken as a basis for further studies aimed at creating small, medium or large power projects. Finally the result which is to come is the development of potential maps of the south area of Ecuador in which they can identify optimal areas for the use of solar and wind power more than this can be considered as the predictive models useful in other fields of study.
