Evaluation of the Solar and Wind Energy Potential of the (original) (raw)

This paper aims to analyze and evaluate the existing solar and wind energy potential in the Paraguayan Chaco, for which a Davis weather station was installed in La Patria for a three months period, which sent every 30 minutes data of wind speed at 10m height and global solar radiation. The measuring instruments were calibrated according to international standards, field experience and scientific literature independently. For the elaboration of this paper four aspects were taken into account: 1) the experimental method of data treatment, 2) adjustments based on data from scientific literature, 3) discussion of the results and 4) the conclusions, which allow us to have an overview more comprehensive about the potential of renewable energy resources existing in the region. Regarding the use of mathematical models, adjustments were made using regression curves and statistical models representing the focus of analysis of this research.
