Abstract

In the last few years, Ecuador has been developing changes in the use and harnessing of energetic resources, mainly due to the greenhouse gasses emission that cause damage to the climate system and also the depletion of oil. Since 2007, the change in the energy matrix seeks to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and migrate toward clean alternative energies that reduce environmental pollution. The purpose of the following work is to develop a characterization of the wind of Huascachaca, province of Loja, by using data obtained from a meteorological tower on the site to determine the incidence of the wind, then with the help of the software Windographer, the wind characterization is modeled and dynamized to finally estimate the optimal turbine.
