The Fox Islands Wind Power Project (44°05′38″N 68°52′05″W) is a 4.5 MW wind project consisting of three GE 1.5 MW wind turbines, providing power for North Haven and Vinalhaven Island. The $14.5 million project is expected to produce 11,600 megawatt-hours of electricity per year.
It is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288.2 ft (1,916.6 m) and the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River. The mountain is notorious for its erratic weather. On the afternoon of April 12, 1934, the Mount Washington Observatory recorded a windspeed of 231 miles per hour (372 km/h) at the ...
Prevailing winds. Winds are part of Earth's atmospheric circulation. Global surface wind vector flow lines colored by wind speed from June 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011. In meteorology, prevailing wind in a region of the Earth 's surface is a surface wind that blows predominantly from a particular direction. The dominant winds are the trends in ...
This map, created by the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, shows the proposed offshore wind lease areas in the Gulf of Maine. Three are due east of the Cape Cod towns of Truro and Wellfleet.
A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps, but also time series or frequency distributions. A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging time ...
The Global Wind Atlas is a web-based application developed to help policymakers and investors identify potential high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and perform preliminary calculations. It provides free access to data on wind power density and wind speed at multiple heights using the latest historical ...
The areas available for leasing in the Gulf of Maine -- off the coasts of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine -- have the potential for enough offshore wind energy to power more than 4.5 ...
Share of electricity production from wind, 2023 [1] Global map of wind speed at 100 m above surface level [2] The worldwide total cumulative installed electricity generation capacity from wind power has increased rapidly since the start of the third millennium, and as of the end of 2022, it amounts to almost 900 GW. Since 2010, more than half ...
