The U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) is a novel dataset of air current turbine locations in addition to capabilities. The dataset tin forcefulness out hold upwardly visualized on a novel interactive map showing the locations of all the USA's air current turbines. The USWTDB Viewer shows both onshore in addition to offshore air current turbines in addition to their technical specifications.
The map visualizes 57,636 turbines, which combined convey a full rated capacity of 89,197 MW. Initially the private turbines are color-coded on the map yesteryear their capacity (blue having the to the lowest degree capacity in addition to scarlet the most). However it is possible to alter what the turbine color ramp shows to visualize the air current turbines yesteryear tiptop or yesteryear twelvemonth of construction.
If you lot zoom-in on an surface area of the U.S. the map sidebar updates to present the full position out of air current turbines inwards the electrical current map persuasion in addition to their combined capacity. The sidebar also updates to listing the private projects inwards view, amongst details on the projection name, position out of turbines in addition to full capacity.
The air current turbine database has been compiled yesteryear Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in addition to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). The database is supported yesteryear the U.S. Department of Energy, the USGS Energy Resources Program, in addition to AWEA.
You tin forcefulness out larn a feel of the historical increment of air current ability inwards the U.S. using the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind Farms Through the Years map. This animated map shows the locations in addition to the dates of when air current farms were constructed inwards the USA. The map animates through the years 1975 to 2013 adding the air current farms to the map yesteryear appointment of construction.
As the animation plays the map keeps a full of the position out of air current farms constructed in addition to the position out of homes those air current farms could power. You tin forcefulness out also drag the slide command to persuasion the totals for whatever unmarried year. The map uses dissimilar colored markers to quest the air current farms added inwards the selected year.
Last twelvemonth the Technical University of Kingdom of Denmark in addition to the World Bank collaborated to exercise the Global Wind Atlas. The atlas is designed to visualize the potential for air current ability generation across the whole globe. The map uses both mesoscale in addition to microscale modeling inwards lodge to assistance utilize air current energy.
The Global Wind Atlas tin forcefulness out render air current resources information for private countries & regions or you lot tin forcefulness out purpose the drawing tools to persuasion air current resources information for a custom defined area. The air current information available on the map includes information on ability density, air current administration in addition to air current speed.
