Estimation of the wind potential for the Gustavo Galindo campus of the ESPOL in the city of Guayaquil

Abstract:

An estimation of the wind potential using a numerical model (WAsP) for a university campus (Gustavo Galindo) of the Polytechnic School of the Coast (ESPOL) is presented. Ten-minute observations of wind speed and direction of a weather station installed on the campus were used as input of the model, as well as a map of elevation of the terrain with a horizontal resolution of 30m. Results of wind speed and power density are presented at different heights (10m to 50m) mostly favorable because of the terrain conditions.
