Capturing the Sensitivity of National Wind Energy Potential to Local Siting Challenges

Onshore wind energy is rapidly growing globally, with its capacity projected to reach nearly 750 GW by next year. To achieve maximum potential and profitability, developers need to accurately site tens of thousands of turbines. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been researching ways to advance renewable energy through spatial analysis and visualization. NREL's research team used spatial data science to analyze siting challenges for wind technology, exploring scenarios with varying levels of restrictions on turbine placement. Their findings suggest that siting restrictions can significantly impact future wind capacity, particularly in regions with high demand for clean energy. The team also visualized their results using interactive maps and supply curves to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential for wind energy development.
