Meteorological variability and use of solar energy in the Mantaro Valley, Peru

Espinoza C.; Clemente W.; Martinez C. · International Journal of Renewable Energy Research (2020)

Resumen

Innovation of technologies that use solar energy as a source of energy, requires the meteorological parameters of the place where they will be put into operation. Existing publications on meteorological parameters are general, presented for reporting, but not for use with a source of information to design technologies that will use the sun as an energy source. This article is intended to describe variations in meteorological parameters such as solar radiation, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed in the Mantaro Valley, to be applied in the design of technologies that use solar energy, the annual averages obtained are 394 W/m2, 14.3°C, 61% and 2.7 m/s, respectively.
