Address Detail
The address detail function provides an overview of wind resource parameters in the specified point, such as coordinate/elevation, Feed-in-Tariff (FIT), air density, roughness, wind speed, wind power density at 80/90/120m.
For wind farms in China, wind resource data sources are:
- MESOSCALE: Mesoscale data with the CNN wind accelaration factor from the latest simulation of Greenwich. These wind data are filtered by the wind quality standard and corrected by long-term correction.
- ERA5
- MERRA2
For regions outside China, only the MERRA2 and ERA5 data are provided.
