Abstract

The paper “Estimation of Renewable Energy Potential in Malqui Machay” performs an analysis of renewable energy potential in Malqui Machay, Ecuador, utilizing an advanced methodology that integrates geospatial analysis and application of mathematical models and equations, with data sources including NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). The results show a significant solar photovoltaic potential of 361.80 KWh/ m2, which is remarkably high compared to the more moderate wind power density and biomass energy estimates. This variance highlights the suitability of the region for solar PV projects and suggests implementation of small-scale wind turbines, harnessing of biomass from organic waste streams, in addition to hybrid systems integrating these non-conventional renewables...
