Wind for Schools Wind Turbine Data

Description

This dataset is a series of wind turbine data collected for the Wind for Schools project. The U.S. Department of Energy funded the Wind for Schools project, which helped develop a future wind energy workforce by encouraging students at higher education institutions to join Wind Application Centers and serve as project consultants for small wind turbine installations at rural elementary and secondary schools. The data are collected from the school wind turbine installations. The Wind for Schools OpenEI data project was archived at the end of July 2024. The data that was collected up that point is provided here as the resource "Wind For Schools Dataset".
