Integrated: Geospatial Toolkit for El Salvador from NREL

(Abstract):  Stand–alone and easy to use geographic toolkit that allows non-GIS users to relate the renewable energy resource (solar and wind) data to other geographic data, such as land use, protected areas, elevation, etc.

(Purpose):  The Solar and Wind Energy Resource Assessment (SWERA) Geospatial Toolkit (GsT) is a map-based software application that can be used for decision making and policy analysis in addition to planning for future energy projects. The SWERA application utilizes Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to develop common scenarios to evaluate potential locations for solar or wind energy plants.

(Supplemental Information):   The zip file contains the geospatial toolkit executable, Getting Started Document, and metadata.

The GsT was completely redesigned and re-released in November 2010 to provide a more modern, easier-to-use interface with considerably faster analytical querying capabilities. The revised version of the Geospatial Toolkit for El Salvador is available using the following link: http://www.nrel.gov/international/downloads/gst_elsalvador.exe
