Evaluación del potencial de aprovechamiento energético de la provincia de Loja a través de estructuras de generación hidroeléctrica a pequeña escala

Abstract

Abstract: The identification of new renewable energy sources is important to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and face to causes of climate change. So, the execution of the project allows the identification in rural areas, points of sustainable hydroelectric generation, in the irrigation canals and pressure systems of Loja province. At first part, the main systems pressure are identified, to analyze the energy that is transported from the system to points in analysis. In the second part is identified by a Geographic Information System (GIS) the optimal points in the irrigation channels that it has suitable levels, to raise information of canal and then make an analysis to determine the transported flow. With all the information that is analyzed and calculated, a generation system according to the characteristics of the point in analysis is proposed.
