Nevada wind resources. The U.S. state of Nevada has a quite limited potential capacity for onshore wind power generation, ranking 29th among the states. The NREL estimates [1] that the potential for 7.2 GW of wind generation capacity exists in Nevada, which could generate 17,709 GW·h per year (roughly 60% of the state's electric demand [2]).
The heating causes a thermal low to develop which sets up a pressure gradient which induces the wind, pulling cooler air down from the High Sierra. [1] The Washoe Zephyr first gained notoriety from a passage written by Mark Twain in his 1872 book Roughing It. The wind played a role in a large fire which Twain claimed to have accidentally set.
Screenshot of the Global Wind Atlas website (version 2.2) 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 ...
