Description:
Abstract:
The North Carolina State Energy Office in the Department of Administration supported the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis to develop a polygon layer of windpower potential in North Carolina, based on an analysis and model developed for the State Energy Office by AWS Truewind, LLC of Albany, New York (2004).   The data set represents windpower potential measured in Watts per square meter at a tower height of 50 meters, mapped originally in raster format in 200-meter cells by AWS TrueWind.  The conversion to a polygon layer makes the data more suitable for web mapping applications, including NC OneMap.
Purpose:
This data set was created to assist energy producers and users and public agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS).
Supplemental_Information:
system filename : windpower50meter_nc.shp in shapefile format    file size = 5.1 mb
This is the first polygon version of this data set.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The attributes are based on model results from AWS TrueWind, LLC.  The watts per square meter are expressed in ranges that represent low, medium and high windpower potential.  The wind resource ratings are consistent with the 7-class scale used by the US Department of Energy.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's ArcGIS software, the dataset was reclassified to assign a value to "nodata" to enable conversion; converted from raster to feature; and projected to state plane coordinates.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent windpower potential for locations in North Carolina including offshore.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
At best, the data are accurate to the scale mapped (200 meter cells).  Conversion from raster to polygon used the ArcGIS option "simplify polygons."
