The options presented are the result of an analysis of the Colombian market; this analysis included simulations and modeling of the country's power sector, and extensive consultations with operators, managers, and agents. More information on the analysis and simulations is presented in the appendixes. Wind was chosen to exemplify the range of renewable energy alternatives available to complement traditional power sector technologies on the basis of its technical maturity, its relatively low cost compared to other options, the country's experience, and its wind power potential. This report constitutes the second phase of a barrier analysis to wind energy in Colombia.CC BY 3.0 IGOADEQUATE COMPENSATIONAMOUNT OF POWERANNUAL ELECTRICITYANTHRACITEAPPROACHASHAVAILABILITYBALANCEBARRELS PER DAYCALCULATIONCAPACITY FACTORCAPACITY FACTOR INCREASESCAPACITY FACTORSCARBONCARBON CAPTURECARBON CREDITSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON ENERGYCARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON FUNDCARBON INTENSITYCARBON MARKETCARBON REVENUESCARBON TRADECATALYTIC REDUCTIONCERTIFIED EMISSION REDUCTIONSCLEAN COALCLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGYCLEAN DEVELOPMENTCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCLEAN TECHNOLOGYCLEAN TECHNOLOGY FUNDCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECO2COALCOAL COMBUSTIONCOAL EXPORTSCOAL PLANTSCOAL POWER PLANTSCOAL PRICECOAL PRODUCTIONCOAL RESERVESCOGENERATIONCOLORSCOMBUSTION SYSTEMSCONVENTIONAL POWER PLANTSCONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIESCONVERGENCECOST OF WIND POWERCYCLE GASDEMAND FOR ENERGYDEMAND PEAKSDIESELDISTRIBUTION OF ENERGYDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDOMESTIC COALDOMESTIC ENERGYDOMESTIC NATURAL GASDROUGHTECOSYSTEMSEFFICIENT USEEFFICIENT USE OF ENERGYELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY GENERATION PLANTELECTRICITY PRICESELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRIFICATIONELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOREMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSIONSENERGY ALTERNATIVESENERGY DEMANDENERGY MARKETENERGY NEEDSENERGY PLANNINGENERGY POLICYENERGY PRODUCERSENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SOURCESENERGY TECHNOLOGYENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESESPFLUE GASFLUE GAS DESULFURIZATIONFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL PRICESFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUELFUEL OILFUEL SWITCHGASGAS DISTRIBUTIONGAS RESERVESGAS SUPPLIESGAS TURBINEGAS TURBINESGASESGASIFICATIONGCMGENERAL CIRCULATION MODELGHGGLOBAL CARBON MARKETGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGRID ELECTRIFICATIONGRID INTEGRATIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHYDRO PLANTHYDRO POWERHYDROLOGYHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER PLANTHYDROPOWER UNITSINCOMEINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYIPCCKILOWATT HOURLEVEL OF EMISSIONSLOW SULFUR COALMETEOROLOGICAL RESEARCHMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSMETEOROLOGYMINI GRIDNATIONAL GRIDNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS PLANTSOILOIL EQUIVALENTOIL RESERVESPARTICULATEPARTICULATE MATTERPEAK DEMANDPEAK LOADPEAK POWERPIPELINEPLANT OUTPUTPOWERPOWER CAPACITYPOWER COSTSPOWER CURVEPOWER DEMANDPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER GENERATION TECHNOLOGIESPOWER GRIDPOWER MIXPOWER PLANTPOWER PRODUCERPOWER PROJECTPOWER SECTORPOWER SOURCESPOWER SUPPLYPOWER SYSTEMPOWER SYSTEMSPRECIPITATIONPROVEN RESERVESRAINFALLRAW MATERIALSRENEWABLE ENERGIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCERENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESRENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIESRENEWABLE POWERRENEWABLE RESOURCESRENEWABLE SOURCERENEWABLE SOURCESRESIDUAL FUELRESIDUAL FUEL OILRETROFITTINGSOURCE OF ENERGYSOXSULFURSULFUR CONTENTSULFUR OXIDESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTAX EXEMPTIONSTEMPERATURETHERMAL CAPACITYTHERMAL POWERTOTAL ENERGYTRANSMISSION SYSTEMTRANSPORT SECTORTURBINE COMPONENTSTURBINE DESIGNVOLTAGEWATER CYCLEWINDWIND DATAWIND DIRECTIONWIND ENERGYWIND ENERGY POTENTIALWIND ENERGY PROJECTSWIND ENERGY RESOURCESWIND FARMWIND FARMSWIND FLOWWIND GENERATIONWIND GENERATORSWIND POTENTIALWIND POWERWIND POWER CAPACITYWIND POWER GENERATIONWIND POWER PLANTSWIND POWER POTENTIALWIND POWER PRODUCTIONWIND POWER PROJECTWIND PROJECTWIND PROJECTSWIND REGIMEWIND RESOURCEWIND RESOURCESWIND SECTORWIND SPEEDWIND SPEEDSWIND TURBINEWIND TURBINESWIND VELOCITYWINDSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8504-3
