Description:
Abstract:
Annual average wind resource potential of North and South Dakota at a 50 meter height.
Purpose:
Provide information on the wind resource development potential within North and South Dakota.
Supplemental_Information:
This data set was produced and validated by NREL using their WRAM model. This shapefile was generated from a raster dataset with a 1000 m resolution, in a Lambert Azimuthal projection with the following parameters: Projection LAMBERT_AZIMUTHAL Datum NONE Zunits NO Units METERS Xshift 0.0000000000 Yshift 0.0000000000 Parameters 6370997.0000000000 0.0000000000 6370997.00000 /* radius of the sphere of reference -100 15 0.000 /* longitude of center of projection 46 3 0.000 /* latitude of center of projection 0.00000 /* false easting (meters) 0.00000 /* false northing (meters)

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Wind power class is an indicator of likely resource strength, with a higher wind power class representing higher wind resource levels. The following classification information is for utility-scale applications at a 50 meter height.
Power Resource 50 m Wind Power Class Potential Density (W/m2) 1 Poor 0 - 200 2 Marginal 200 - 300 3 Fair 300 - 400 4 Good 400 - 500 5 Excellent 500 - 600 6 Outstanding 600 - 800 7 Superb > 800
