METHODOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES IN VENEZUELA

Abstract

In this article the amount of solar radiation is evaluated from satellite imagery and geographic data. These data are received by NASA of 340 points for 20 years. This method allows calculating the distribution of solar radiation in Venezuela using the interpolation process with software QGIS. When building, the technique uses multiple databases, comparison of that allows determining the difference between radiation emission in a given area. Data from the radiation received by the interpolation were confirmed by data obtained from the surface with an annual error less than 10%. The most significant differences between the studied databases were found in mountainous areas, some coastal areas, as well as in areas, where the modeling of solar radiation can not guarantee the reliability of the results due to lack of accuracy and quality of the data.
