Diseño de un Sistema de Aerogeneradores para Edificaciones en el Archipiélago de San Andrés

Abstract

The situation of energy production in the San Andrés archipelago, Colombia, projects a need for change towards a focus on more sustainable energy sources. Currently, the majority of electricity in San Andrés is generated from fossil fuels, resulting in pollution and a fiscal burden due to subsidies for these fuels. It is emphasized that San Andrés has significant potential for wind energy generation due to the speed and consistency of the wind in the area. The proposal is to develop wind turbine systems in buildings within the archipelago to harness wind energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels for energy production. This would lead to a decrease in energy costs, both in terms of subsidies and environmental impact, benefiting various areas, including commercial zones, residential areas, rural regions, tourist areas, and protected zones. The introduction of renewable energy sources would improve the quality of life for the population, promote community development, and increase education levels in remote areas that lack access to electricity. It is also noted that this initiative could attract investments and create jobs in the archipelago, contributing to economic growth and the development of new businesses related to renewable energy.
