Estimation of Wind Energy Potential of the Territory

Abstract:

Accurate information about the wind resource and the wind energy potential is required for federal and local authority policy initiatives that will expand the use of wind energy. This paper presents the experience of creating an information-analytical system (IAS), based on GIS technologies, for wind energy potential (theoretical and practically achievable) of Leningrad and Pskov regions, located in the North-West of Russia. IAS consists of GIS database coupled with models for support of decision making for regional planning. The paper presents the general methodological approaches and possible practical difficulties during the creation of such systems.
