Renewable Energy Generation

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has matured to become a technically viable large scale source of sustainable energy. Understanding the rooftop PV potential is critical for utility planning, accommodating grid capacity, deploying financing schemes and formulating future adaptive energy policies. The NIWE (National Institute of Wind Energy) under MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) is an esteemed institute dedicated to Indian wind and solar renewable energy generation and monitoring. The SRRA (Solar Radiation and Resource Assessment) is a division under NIWE that is responsible for solar energy monitoring throughout India. They have created the Solar Radiation Map of India using high quality, ground measured solar data. This asks the question, whether it is possible to get a quick estimate of a solar installation. Thus, the paper explains the problems in the field of solar potential measurement and the deployment of a calculator in a mobile front platform. The mobile app would quickly and effortlessly give a rough estimate on what a solar installation could save in power consumption costs.

The City

Within the city of Guayaquil, the Protector Prosperina Forest is located, which protects an area rich in biodiversity. To prevent visitors from damaging the forest, the Polytechnic community has established a tourism intervention plan based on sustainability criteria, generating responsible and ecological tourism. Therefore, the project aims to improvement of spaces, signage, and construction of energy systems using renewable energy for lighting and loading of electronic devices, will also, serve as logistical technical support for the operation of the sensor network and information acquisition for the monitoring of diversity forest through audio and video, especially for the protection of those species that are in danger of extinction. In this initiative to raise awareness and promote the protection of the forest and the sustainable use of its resources, autonomous photovoltaic stations have been installed in 5 strategic locations for the development of the aforementioned activities.
