Wyoming's geography of high-altitude prairies with broad ridges makes the state an ideal site for the development of wind resources. Other factors that positively affect Wyoming's wind power development potential include transmission capabilities, [5] the high energy needs of nearby population centers, [5] high public support of wind power development in the state (97% support), [6] and the ...
While winds in Texas and Iowa often blow at night, wind increases during the day in Wyoming, corresponding with consumption, as peak demand is late afternoon. [17] The wind is Class 7, [18] and the wind capacity factor is around 46%. [19] The first phase of 1,500 MW is expected to yield 6 TWh per year. [20]
TB Flats I & II Wind Farm is a 301.1-megawatt onshore wind farm located in Carbon County and Albany County, Wyoming, United States. [3] The project was developed by Invenergy and later transferred to PacifiCorp as part of their Energy Vision 2020 initiative.
Wind energy is booming here. In a state where being able to hunt, fish and camp in gorgeous and untrammeled nature is a way of life, worries about spoiled views, killed eagles and disturbed big ...
A windsock (a wind cone or wind sleeve) is a conical textile tube that resembles a giant sock. It can be used as a basic indicator of wind speed and direction , or as decoration. Windsocks are typically used at airports to show the direction and strength of the wind to pilots, and at chemical plants where there is risk of gaseous leakage.
The Top of the World Windpower Project is a 200 megawatt wind farm located near Casper, Wyoming, USA. The project, operated by Duke Energy, was constructed on approximately 17,000 acres (6,900 ha) of land held under long-term lease in Converse County. The Top of the World Windpower Project began operation in 2010. [1]
Three Waters Mountain (11,685 ft (3,562 m)) is located in the northern Wind River Range in the U.S. state of Wyoming. [3] Three Waters Mountain straddles the Continental Divide and is in both Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forests.
Geographically, Gannett Peak is the apex [clarification needed] of the entire Central Rockies, the largely continuous chain of mountains occupying the states of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. Named in 1906 for American geographer Henry Gannett , [ 5 ] the peak is also the high point of the Wind River Range .
