Model Data
WinDS Model Update - We are currently finalizing the model data and will provide information as it becomes available. In the meantime, please contact the webmaster with your data requests.
Documentation of WinDS Base Case Data
This document (PDF 1.1 MB) summarizes the key data inputs to the Base Case of the WinDS model. The Base Case was developed simply as a point of departure for other analyses to be conducted with the WinDS model. It does not represent a forecast of the future, but rather is a consensus scenario whose inputs depend strongly on others' results and forecasts. For example, the WinDS Base Case derives many of its inputs from the EIA's Annual Energy Outlook (EIA 2005) — in particular, its conventional technology cost and performance parameters, its current and future fossil fuel prices, and its electric-sector loads. The document presents the parameters and input values used for the WinDS Base Case.
Cost of Wind Transmission Access Data
These results are presented in the form of supply curves for the incremental cost to build transmission capacity from the potential wind resources in a region to the nearest existing transmission lines that have adequate capacity available to carry the generation.
Please see Overview and visit Interactive Database on this Web site.
Other Data
As soon as we have finalized all materials, users can access various data used in WinDS.
