Measuring wind-energy potential
This year American wind farms will produce 16.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, and the energy sector is fast developing. This has created a demand for the measurement of wind-energy potential for possible sites for future wind turbines. Companies are now producing detailed computer models of wind and weather patterns for the whole of the United States. Wind forecasting is also being offered so that wind farms know when they are likely to be producing more or less energy.
