Exploring Wind Energy Siting: A Comprehensive Hands-On School Project

This project focuses on the geographical siting of wind energy systems, offering students hands-on experience in the analysis and data collection necessary for understanding wind resources. Students will investigate potential sites for wind turbines, use GIS mapping to identify optimal locations, and simulate visual impacts of turbines through photosimulation. Emphasis will be placed on data analysis, environmental considerations such as bird migration, local community opinions, costs, and state incentives for wind energy projects. Engage your students in the practicalities of renewable energy!

  5. See the Wind…

  6. Data Analysis • A great deal of analysis is done on wind resources at a particular site…. • Some schools already collect data with weather computer stations… • Other cheap data collectors and loggers
