In this research, the assessment of eolic potential in the plane zone of department of Meta-Colombia was carried out, and economic prefactibility analysis was done about the electricity system from wind velocity data at a reference height (z =10m). Five different types of power turbines between 330 and 3000 kW were studied in order to analyze their technical and economic feasibility. The evaluated zone presented an energy potential of 4.9075 GWh/year, using a 3000 kW (Vestas V-112) turbine at a height of 90 m. The production cost of kWh under this condition was approximate 123.67$/Kw-h.
This work seeks to evaluate the energy potential of the department of Nariño to different types of wind turbines and this heights; the economic evaluation to establish the viability of renewable energy. The average wind speed was 5.6 m/s with values between 4 and 8.5 m/s, adjusted to the probabilistic Rayleigh model. The results show that the department of Nariño can generate 31,267,194.55 kW/year, depending on the power of the wind turbine (400-3000 kW) and the heights 50, 70 and 90 meters. The economic pre-feasibility indicates that the wind turbine Vestas V80 2000 kW had the lowest generation cost with 0.00414263 USD / kWh, which was considered attractive for the financial indicators of the project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
