Micro-Scale Wind Resource Assessment for Off-Grid Electrification Projects in Rural Communities. A Case Study in Peru

Matteo Ranaboldo, Laia Ferrer‐Martí, Enrique Velo García · 2013 · International Journal of Green Energy

Summary. This study evaluates micro-scale wind resource assessment tools for off-grid rural electrification in remote areas. Researchers tested a computer model in two Andean communities in Peru to determine if standard wind assessment tools could work despite limited data and steep terrain. The model performed well and produced accurate resource maps at the community scale, proving suitable for designing small-scale rural electrification projects in developing countries.
