Potential Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources in Non-interconnected Zones of Colombia, using Geographic Information System - ArcGIS: Study of Cases

The aim of this research is assessing energy potential of solar, wind, hydro, and agricultural residue biomass sources and choose the best option for the municipals of three departments with the highest energy demand in non-interconnected zones of Colombia. Energy potential assessment is carried out...

description The aim of this research is assessing energy potential of solar, wind, hydro, and agricultural residue biomass sources and choose the best option for the municipals of three departments with the highest energy demand in non-interconnected zones of Colombia. Energy potential assessment is carried out by using ArcGIS software, since it allows to represent geographic dispersion; climatic variables; terrain elevations; and territorial restrictions (social and environmental) such as the presence of indigenous reservations, armed groups, and natural parks. The results show that the water resource is the best choice in Chocó’s towns; agricultural residue biomass has the greatest potential in Putumayo’s towns, and the most viable option for Meta’s towns is the solar resource.
