Observation-based Solar And Wind Power Capacity Factors And Power Densities - Wind Plant Data

Information on the 430 wind power plants used in the publication "Observation-based solar and wind power capacity factors and power densities", initially based on the Wind Power Plant locations released by the US Energy Information Administration and the individual wind turbine locations released by the US Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB). In this study we estimated the power density of wind and solar power using data that includes most grid-connected commercial-scale installations in the US. We also examined how power densities vary with power plant age and size.
