U.S.A. - State Wind Resource Maps
by U.S. Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy - Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program
The Link Below will take you to a site where wind resource maps are available for most states.
Dan Boone takes a close look at the landscape impact of the Mountaineer Wind Energy (WV) and Meyersdale (PA) industrial wind plants.
This addresses the most important challenges confronting Eltra, the Transmission System Operator in Western Denmark.
Wind Power: Capacity Factor, Intermittency, and what happens when the wind doesn’t blow?
by Renewable Energy Research Laboratory, University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in moving air into rotational energy, which in turn is converted to electricity. Since wind speeds vary from month to month and second to second, the amount of electricity wind can make varies constantly. Sometimes a wind turbine will make no power at all. This variability does affect the value of the wind power……
Editor’s Note: This ‘fact sheet’ is, on the whole, a comparatively fair report. The definitions provided for capacity factor, efficiency, reliability, dispatchability, and availability are useful. Its discussion of back-up generation, marginal emissions and Germany & Denmark, however, is disingenuous as is, to a lesser degree, its discussion of capacity factor and availability. IWA's comments (updated October '06) on these issues follow selected extracts from the 'fact sheet' below.
Professor Terry Matilsky on Noise Impacts
by Terry Matilsky, Professor of Physics at Rutgers University.
This document has been prepared by Terry Matilsky, Professor of Physics at Rutgers University. For almost 40 years, he has been funded by NASA and other federal agencies to do data analysis from various scientific satellites; to examine what information tells us about a phenomena, and draw rational and solid, scientific conclusions from them.
