Searching for Profitable Wind Corridors
Wind prospectors regularly explore portions of each state with wind maps in hand, in search of desirable wind corridors for developing wind energy projects.
These wind-resource projections then combine with researching the potential for interconnection with a power-grid.
Most commercial or utility wind projects must have the the capacity to produce more than 100 kilowatts of power. It can take anywhere from five to ten years to develop wind projects.
Wind prospecting is not an exact science, but does assist the engineers with enough information to screen each potential region with a serious study.
On the other hand, the broader wind industry is still waiting for a national reneable electrical standard to be adopted that will lend credibility to continued development.
