The world's Longest Plow is on its way to a Guinness World Record. Renewable Energy Systems and Community Development Opportunities

This study presents the modeling, simulations, and analysis for the power supply for the decorative lighting system of the world's longest plow, which aims to achieve a Guinness World Record. This recently developed and innovative initiative is located in the rural community of Chaullayacu in the Guachapala Canton of Ecuador. The goal is not only to achieve the Guinness World Record, but also to promote community development through tourism, which has grown substantially in recent years. In this sense, renewable energy is conceived as an ally to provide a different perspective to the world's longest plow, which includes LED lighting, taking advantage of the area's energy potential in terms of solar radiation and wind speed. Data was collected on-site, initially installing a meteorological station to identify, above all, whether the wind overturns the plow's infrastructure. Advantageously, the speeds are usually not so high as to affect the infrastructure, and are actually useful for generating electricity, making the plow much more attractive at night.
