Evaluation of Peruvian Territorial Spaces for the Creation of Wind Power Plants According to the AHP Matrix Analysis

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the evaluation of territorial spaces in the province of Junín, Peru, for the implementation of wind power plants using the AHP (Analytical Hierarchical Process) matrix analysis method. Several evaluation criteria are used , such as average wind speed, altitude, roughness length, slope, administrative boundaries, urban areas, power lines and substations, hydrographic units, and environmental and archaeological zones. The results obtained show the percentage weighting s for each province of Junín in relation to the different evaluation criteria. According to the AHP analysis, it is determined that the most optimal province for the implementation of a wind farm in Junín is the province of Yauli, followed closely by the p rovince of Chupaca. These provinces meet the selection criteria and present similarities with current wind farm locations.
