This study presents a 100% renewable and diversified system taking advantage of the available energy potential of renewable energies in Mexico with a view to a planned energy transition in cooperation with the environment. The processes of change that are experienced worldwide in favor of the planet make us reflect and propose alternatives that break traditional schemes in the production of energy (for which reason Mexico cannot deviate from its current model). It is here that this research becomes a transcendental and important reference for decision-making and the transformation of the energy sector in Mexico. The current electrical system relies on fossil fuels that need to be replaced by renewable energy sources (and it is necessary to satisfy growing demands in the long term). The methodological process is carried out with the use of the 100% renewable energy market design tool EnergyPLAN, which puts the concept of intelligent energy into practice by 2050. Finally, after analyzing the results, it is concluded that a good energy mix for 2050 is 30% solar photovoltaic, 25% wind, 14.5% hydraulic, 13.8% CSP plants, and 16.7% other technologies. Surpluses may be sold to the United States and Central America through interconnection points.

Los aerogeneradores de eje horizontal de potencia de 1 kW, ofrecen una alternativa viable para la generación de energía limpia en hogares. Mediante la aplicación de los modelos teóricos de Rankine-Froude y Elemento de Pala, este trabajo presenta un diseño detallado que contribuye a la reducción de la dependencia de fuentes de energía fósiles y promueve la sostenibilidad energética. En el presente trabajo, se muestra detalladamente el proceso de diseño de un aerogenerador de eje horizontal con una potencia de 1 kW empleando el modelo teórico de Rankine-Froude y modelo del Elemento de Pala, para las cuales se trabajó con perfiles NACA de cuatro dígitos con una ordenada de 0.4 al 40 % de la cuerda, con diferentes espesores con MATLAB® se ha calculado el perfil alar para posteriormente construir el aerogenerador. El análisis estadístico del recurso eólico (10 m de altura) para la ciudad de Saltillo, Coahuila, México, donde se han realizado las pruebas de funcionamiento muestra que con una velocidad mínima de 6 m/s se puede generar energía eléctrica.

Luxury beach hotels in tropical climates are large consumers of electricity, negatively impacting the environment and their profit margins. Energy efficiency and the incorporation of clean energy are among the main actions contributing to reducing this problem, but the implementation of this second solution is minimal among these types of hotels. A case study was conducted and found that this is primarily due to a lack of space in their facilities. Solutions are proposed by implementing agrovoltaic farms in the areas adjacent to the destination studied. The project is technically, economically, and legally feasible, and the proposed agrovoltaic farms could supply nearly 580 million kWh annually, mitigating emissions of just over 390,000 tCO2e/year and making Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta a "Green Destination," thus contributing to meeting international GHG mitigation targets.
