Como primer paso hacia la obtención de una matriz más amigable con el ambiente y más diversa es fundamental identificar zonas con potencial para la instalación de energías renovables no convencionales, los Sistemas de Información Geográfico (SIG) son de gran ayuda para identificar zonas con este potencial. En este estudio se identifican los posibles sitios para la implantación de centrales solares fotovoltaicas (CSF) en la Provincia del Azuay mediante los SIG y la Evaluación Multicriterio (EM). Para valorar la importancia de los criterios se empleó el Método Analítico Jerárquico (MAJ). Para la obtención de un modelo de capacidad de acogida (MCA) se integró el modelo de aptitud (MA) en el que se analizaron criterios económicos y técnicos; y un modelo de impacto (MI) que analizo variables ambientales. Al integrar los modelos esta metodología permitió la identificación de zonas para el emplazamiento de estaciones que permitan el monitoreo de los recursos y el análisis del comportamiento previo a la implementación de las CSF. Una vez ejecutada la metodología propuesta se obtiene como resultado dos posibles sitios con características medias para el emplazamiento de CSF. Como conclusión en base a los indicadores analizados el Azuay no cuenta con una zona potencialmente adecuada para la instalación de esta tecnología.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: Ecuador's energy matrix exceeds 75% of renewable energy; however, hydroelectric energy is the primary source. As a first step towards obtaining a more environmentally friendly and diverse matrix, it is essential to identify areas with potential for installing non-conventional renewable energies. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are of great help to identify areas with this potential. In this study, the possible sites for implementing photovoltaic solar power plants (PSPP) in the Azuay Province are identified utilizing GIS and Multicriteria Evaluation (ME). The Hierarchical Analytical Method (HAM) was used to assess the criteria's importance. To obtain a host capacity model (HCM), the aptitude model (AM) was integrated. Economic and technical criteria were analyzed; an impact model (IM) allowed the analysis of environmental variables. By integrating the models, this methodology allowed identifying areas for the stations' location that allow the monitoring of resources and behavior analysis before implementing the PSPPs. Once the proposed methodology has been executed, two possible sites with average characteristics are obtained for the PSPP's location. In conclusion, based on the indicators analyzed, Azuay does not have a potentially suitable area for installing this technology.]]></p></abstract>
