A source of clean energy, airstream is classified according to wind power classes, these are created from usual wind velocity. The classes span from Class 1 (the least) to Class 7 (the maximum). On the whole, at 50 meters , wind power Class 4 or higher can be functional for generating wind power with substantial turbines. Class 4 and over are deemed high-quality energy supplies. Individual locations in the Class 3 areas might have greater wind power class values at 80 meters than shown on the 50 meter map as a consequence of potential elevated wind shear. Given the advances in technology, some areas in the Class 3 regions may suitable for large scale wind power development. The Department of Energy's Wind Program and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) made a fresh wind power diagram for the state of Vermont. This informational map indicates wind speed estimates at 50 meters above the ground and depicts the resource that could be used for windpower companies. Future plans are to supply wind speed estimates at 100 feet, which are effective for identifying small wind power opportunities. |
