Estudio y evaluación de los parámetros de operación del proyecto eólico Villonaco de la provincia de Loja-Ecuador

Abstract

The thesis project shows the study of the flow of the wind acting on the Villonaco hill in the province of Loja, located south of Ecuador. In the study the wind flow simulation is performed, using computational fluid dynamics, in order to evaluate the operation of the wind farm and the use of wind energy which is supplied to the turbine. The results in the simulation are compared with the antecedents of the emplacement and of operation of the wind farm Villonaco, demonstrating the accuracy of the method used in the study.
