Cuba

(Abstract):  Raster GIS data, 50 m wind power density for Cuba.

(Purpose):  To provide information on the wind resource potential in Cuba.

(Abstract):  This document describes the development of detailed high-resolution (1 km2) wind energy resource maps for Cuba.

(Purpose):  To provide information on the wind resource potential within Cuba.

(Abstract):  31Conclusiones y recomendacionesEl
método de cálculo de la radiación solar global desarrollado ha obtenido
resultadoscomparables a otros métodos revisados en la bibliografía. A
diferencia de muchos deestos métodos, que han sido ajustados y
refinados por sus autores a lo largo de variosaños de trabajo, este
es completamente nuevo y parte de un enfoque diferente, por loque
tiene un gran potencial de ajuste y sintonización.Algunos cambios
que pueden sugerirse son tomar distribuciones espaciales ytemporales

(Abstract):  The main object of the SUNY task for SWERA
is to prepare high resolution global irradiance (GHI) and direct
irradiance (DNI) data sets for the countries of Cuba, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.Much of our initial effort
focused on building up the satellite data tx_metadatatool, and in
strengthening and validating the models capable of converting that data
into ground surface irradiances. Three research articles, acknowledging
all or partial funding from UNEP & SWERA have been published on this
subject.

(Abstract):  Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data intended for use in the Geospatial toolkit or with any GIS software.

(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.

(Abstract):  A data set of hourly values of solar radiation and meteorological elements for a 1-year period.

(Purpose):  Simulations

(Abstract):  Raster GIS data, exported as BIL file, 50 m
wind power density for Cuba. Note: BIL files can be converted to raster
data in ArcInfo using the IMAGEGRID command.

(Purpose):  To provide information on the wind resource
potential in Cuba. Values range from 0 to 547.

(Abstract):  Monthly Average Solar Resource for horizontal flat-plate solar collectors for Cuba

(Purpose):  Provide information on the solar resource potential for the data domain. The insolation values represent the average solar energy available to a horizontal flat-plate solar collector, such as a Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel.

(Abstract):  A map depicting model estimates of monthly average daily total radiation using inputs derived from satellite and surface observations of cloud cover, aerosol optical depth, precipitable water vapor, albedo, atmospheric pressure and ozone
sampled at a 40km resolution.

(Purpose):  A visual depiction of solar energy resource for photovoltaic power systems.

(Abstract):  Monthly Average Solar Resource for 2-axis
tracking concentrating collectors for Cuba
(Purpose):  Provide information on the solar resource
potential for the data domain. The insolation values represent the
average solar energy available to a concentrating collector, such as a
dish collector, which tracks the sun continuously.
