• Wind energy potential in the Bolivian Andes. A numerical approach

Wind Power Potential in Highlands of the Bolivian Andes: A Numerical Approach.

Energies,

Wind resource assessment is a key factor for the development and implementation of wind farms with the purpose of generating green, eco-friendly and clean electricity. The Bolivian Andes, as a large dry region, represents an important source of renewable energy. However, the altitude and high wind energy resources of the Bolivian Andes require further knowledge and understanding of the wind energy resources. In this study, the GWA have been used to determine the total area available to install wind farms considering the protected areas, roads, cities and transmission lines.

Weather Research & Forecasting model and MERRA‑2 data for wind energy evaluation at different altitudes in Bolivia.

Wind Engineering

Wind energy is one of the most promising alternatives for a clean and ecological electricity generation. However, the implementation of efficient wind farms requires accurate data and measurements. This work analyses the MERRA-2 satellite datasets to compare and complement it with WRF simulations in different regions and altitudes in Bolivia, such as the Altiplano, Amazon and Chaco..

WRF model parameterization around the highland Titicaca Lake.

Earth and Space Science

The computational advances and many times the lack of meteorological measurements in some regions of the world impulse the employment of numerical methods for covering this deficiency of data, and the parameterization is a key factor for use and operation of numerical weather prediction models. The Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) as one of the most important models has been scarcely parameterized in the Bolivian Altiplano and Titicaca Lake.

Evaluación numérica de diferentes alternativas de energías renovables en Raqaypampa

Cientifica UMSS

This work presents wind and solar energy as two alternatives for electricity generation in the Indigenous Campesino Autonomy of Raqaypampa, based on the need for residents to know their energy potential.

Wind farm power short‑term prediction using WRF model and Kalman filtering

Proceedings of the 32nd ECOS Conference

The growing wind power industry requires more reliable power forecasting due to higher penetration of this technology in electricity generation. Due to the stochastic behavour of wind, additional tools for improving the electricity forecast are required.

Efficiency of High Altitude On‑ shore Wind Turbines: Air Density and Turbulence Effects—Qollpana Wind Farm (Bolivia).

Proceedings

The wind energy is one of the most important alternatives for renewable and clean electricity generation. During the last decade the number of wind farms has largely increased in South America. Qollpana is only one case of an on-shore wind farm but it is located at 2900 m above sea level over a complex terrain.
