Evaluación preliminar del rendimiento energético y de la reducción de emisiones atmosféricas por la generación eléctrica del Sistema de Paneles Solares del Campus de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito en San Cristóbal - Galápagos - Ecuador

Abstract: Renewable energy is an alternative to reduce the impacts from fossil fuel use. The control of atmospheric emissions is relevant in fragile ecosystems as the Galapagos Islands. At present almost all the electricity consumed in Galapagos is generated in power facilities equipped with internal combustion engines. This type of power facilities results in significant emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), pollutants for which it has been established an annual average concentration of 30 µg m 3 to protect sensible vege… Show more

“…From this campaign, they estimated yearly mass emissions of CO, hydrocarbons, NO x , CO 2 and SO 2 produced by the water cargo and transport fleet in the town of Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz Island). Parra (2015) published a set of calculations on the reduction of atmospheric emissions (CO 2 and NO x ) at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), Galapagos Campus (San Cristobal), due to the use of solar panels in lieu of the public grid service. Parra documents that the populated islands rely primarily on thermoelectric power generation (there is some wind power on San Cristobal) and emphasizes the need to study further atmospheric emissions.…”
