The optimal planning of wind energy capacity expansion in the complex terrain of Ecuador requires reliable meteorological datasets. However, a review of existing datasets revealed a lack of adequate, long-term,
The wind dataset was produced using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, version 4.0.2. The model spatial configuration comprises one outer coarse-resolution domain at 9 km (d01) and two nested
This dataset contains 14 years of hourly data at a 3x3 grid resolution of wind speed, wind direction and wind power density at seven vertical levels (30,40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 100 m above ground level)
