Resumen en español

The objective of the article is to identify geopotential zones suitable for the location of a wind farm in the department of Córdoba. To achieve the proposed objective, a methodology was implemented using geographic information technologies (TIG) and the multi-criteria analysis method. Throughout the writing, conceptual and theoretical bases on the processes carried out are denoted, as well as how they were executed and processed to arrive at the results obtained. The selection of the optimal site was achieved through the analysis of the variables identified for the installation of a wind farm, they were classified as skills and restrictions depending on the criteria. Subsequently, these criteria were evaluated, qualifying the ranges and assigning weights to each of them 0 for least significant and 1 for the most important, finally a summation of weighted weights is made in a map algebra process, among which we identified the optimal places. The results gave a total of 47 geopotential zones for the elaboration of the project, they are distributed to the north and northwest of the department of Córdoba more exactly along the coastal area, comprised of 8 potential municipalities, one of them having up to 4,699 potential hectares for the location of the wind farm .
