Global Renewable Energy Resource Maps<br />

The following six world maps illustrate the potential of hydropower, solar<br />

photovoltaics and concentrating power, geothermal power and onshore and<br />

offshore wind power.<br />

Plate 1<br />

Hydropower Resource Potential<br />

Note: Values (in GWh per year and cells of each 0.5° in latitude and longitude) are calculated by means of<br />

differences in altitude and water flow.<br />

Sources: Data on water flow from WaterGAP, Center for Environmental Systems Research, University of Kassel.<br />

Data processing and mapping B. Lehner (assisted by G. Czisch), 2003 / to be published<br />

Plate 2<br />

Solar Photovoltaic Power Resource Potential<br />

Note: Values (in kWh per m 2 and year) are given in terms of global horizontal irradiation (data measured from 1983<br />

to 1992).<br />

Sources: Meteorological data from European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF). Data<br />

processing and mapping by G. Czisch, ISET / IPP, 2000<br />

Plate 3<br />

Concentrating Solar Power Resource Potential<br />

Note: Values are given for the heat output of solar fields SEGS (taking into account wind and ambient<br />

temperature)<br />

Sources: Meteorological data from European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) and National<br />

Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Data processing and mapping by G. Czisch, ISET, IPP, 2000.<br />
