ABSTRACT
Master plan for the Development of Renewable Energy
was prepared in the Republic of El Salvador. Nationwide
wind power potential map was
prepared to identify the potential area for wind power development. The map indicates
geographical distribution of wind potential over large regions at certain
height above ground level. In this study, wind potential maps at 30 m, 50 m and 80 m above ground level
were prepared respectively. Wind potential was simulated based on GIS data and
global meteorological model. Data were corrected by surface
wind data which had been monitored in the assessment area. As a result of wind
potential analysis, wind potential areas were identified in the southwest
mountainous area, northwest mountainous area and northeast mountainous area.
