Most of the data are available in 5-minute (min.) intervals at 2-kilometer (km) spatial resolution. For the United States, uncertainty estimates are also provided. For a given location covered by a dataset, it is possible to see the wind resource either at a given time or averaged over a certain period. We also provide several other meteorological quantities needed for wind energy research. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://item.bettergrids.org/handle/1001/746 Title: LA100: The Los Angeles 100% Renewable Energy Study and Equity Strategies Abstract: Released in March 2021, the groundbreaking Los Angeles 100% Renewable Energy Study (LA100) found that LA can achieve reliable, 100% renewable power as early as 2035. 2021-03-01T00:00:00Z http://item.bettergrids.org/handle/1001/727 Title: ELECTRIC GRID TEST CASE REPOSITORY Weather Data Abstract: This dataset contains historical and forecast weather data for Texas and North America. The historical data starts from 1940 and extends to almost present (5 days from current date). The list of weather values include, temperture, dew point, wind speed, wind direction, wind speed at 100m, cloud cover, global horizontal irradiance, and direct horizontal irradance for a 0.25 degree latitude and longitude grid across much of North America. Please contact Thomas Overbye (overbye@tamu.edu) or Farnaz Safdarian (fsafdarian@tamu.edu) for any questions regarding this data. 2024-01-19T00:00:00Z http://item.bettergrids.org/handle/1001/720 Title: U.S. State Wind Resource Potential Authors: Wood, Jamey Abstract: Estimates for each of the 50 states and the entire United States showing the windy land area with a gross capacity factor (without losses) of 30% and greater at 80-m height above ground and the wind energy potential from development of the ?available? windy land area after exclusions. The ?Installed Capacity? shows the potential megawatts (MW) of rated capacity that could be installed on the available windy land area, and the ?Annual Generation? shows annual wind energy generation in gigawatt-hours (GWh) that could be produced from the installed capacity. AWS Truewind, LLC developed the wind resource data for [windNavigator](http://navigator.awstruewind.com/) with a spatial resolution of 200 m. NREL produced the estimates of windy land area and windy energy potential, including filtering the estimates to exclude areas unlikely to be developed such as wilderness areas, parks, urban areas, and water features (see the "Wind Resource Exclusion Table" sheet within the Excel file for more detail). 2014-11-25T00:00:00Z
