Wind power generation wind measurement map

How many meters of wind energy are there in the world?

Wind Energy Maps and Data offer results for 140-Meter wind potential and other wind speeds. Search by Keyword, view Data by State, or refer to the Tutorial:Understanding Wind Resource Maps. Specific Power is an important trend in wind energy.

Where can I find information about the Global Wind Atlas?

Information on the datasets and methodology used to create the Global Wind Atlas can be found in the About > Datasets and the About > Method sections. The Global Wind Atlas is developed, owned and operated by DTU Wind and Energy Systems (DTU Wind).

Where can I find wind resource data?

Explore wind resource data via our online geospatial tools and downloadable maps and data sets. Access our tools to explore wind geospatial data for the contiguous United States and several international regions and countries.

How accurate is the Global Wind Atlas?

While the data powering the Global Wind Atlas is the most recent and most accurate currently available, it is not fully validated in many developing countries due to the lack of ground-based measurement data from high precision meteorology masts and LiDARs.

How do you calculate rated power of a wind turbine?

This can be done by multiplying the rated power of the wind turbine by the capacity factor for the location (and the number of hours in a year): AEP = P rated * CF * 8760 hr/year, where AEP is annual energy production, Prated is rated power, and CF is capacity factor.
