United States Land-based Wind Representative Profiles 2007-2013 & 2015-2023

Description

This data packet contains hourly generation profiles (representative profiles) for land-based wind across the contiguous United States. Hourly representative generation profiles are available for each reV supply curve site (~53,000 sites) which represents about 11.5 KM x 11.5 KM square envelope area. It contains capacity factor power profiles (AC) that can be linked directly to the capacity available in the supply curve. This data packet contains information for the reference scenario.

Zuckerman, Pavlo Pinchuk, Michael Gleason, Marie Rivers, Owen Roberts, Travis Williams, Donna Heimiller, Sophie-Min Thomson, Trieu Mai, and Wesley Cole.
