Wind power generation project utilization hours

A database of hourly wind speed and modeled generation for US wind

The repository contains wind speeds and generation based on three different meteorological models: ERA5, MERRA2, and HRRR. Data are publicly accessible in simple csv files.

Full Load Hour

Full load hours is defined as the average annual production of a turbine divided by its rated power, typically varying between 1700 to 3000 hours per year for onshore installations.

Viewing the utilization hours

The Utilization Hours report shows the power generation and power loss in MW and utilization hours during one time period.

Generation

View data on DC ties, generation outages, resource plan details and scheduled generation, and find forms to submit generation and outage data/requests.
