Correlation between the wind speed and the elevation to evaluate the wind potential in the southern region of Ecuador

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2021
In this paper, we use the correlation between the average wind speed and the elevation above sea level to present a regression model for calculating the average wind speed and evaluating the wind potential in the southern region of Ecuador.
