development, the procedures needed to process subsequent special-use applications for solar and wind energy exploration and development can often be streamlined. 4. The Approach for Assessing Solar and Wind Energy Potential Task 1. Gather Available Information on Solar and Wind Energy Potential USFS staff from the Forest Service Geospatial Service and Technology Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, provided NREL with GIS-based data of Forest Service land boundaries, Specially Designated Areas, and Inventoried Roadless Areas. NREL’s GIS team then produced GIS maps illustrating solar and wind energy resources, with an overlay of USFS National Forest and Grassland units. Maps for CSP, PV, and Wind are provided in Appendix C. Renewable resource and USFS land ownership GIS data descriptions are provided in Appendix B. NREL resource data for solar (CSP and PV), and wind energy were deemed suitable for a regional-scale analysis, but more detailed data are necessary for site-specific applications. Descriptions of the resource data sets used in the analysis are as follows. Solar NREL has developed a national solar resource assessment for the United States at a resolution of approximately 40 km by 40 km. These data are updated periodically. The most recent update was in 2001 and represents 14 solar collector configurations. The data were developed using NREL’s Climatological Solar Radiation Model. A higher resolution regional solar resource assessment was developed by the State University of New York with input from NREL. This assessment covers the southwestern United States at a 10 km by 10 km resolution. The higher resolution data was used where available. Appendix B describes the solar data in further detail. CSP The CSP analysis used direct normal solar data. These data are pertinent to concentrating systems that track the sun throughout the day, such as trough collectors or dishes. PV The PV analysis used data for a 1-axis tracking flat plate collector with 0 degrees of tilt. These trackers pivot on their single axis to track the sun, facing east in the morning and west in the afternoon. Wind A low-resolution (~625 km2) United States wind resource assessment was produced in 1987. Since then, NREL and other organizations have produced updated higher resolution (0.04 to 1 km2) wind resource assessments that better reflect the effects of terrain on the potential wind resource. The low-resolution wind data captured continental wind patterns. However, the coarse scale meant that the assigned wind resource could apply to as little as 5% of the area if, for example, good resources were on ridge crests. Higher resolution digital terrain data allow the updated wind resource assessments to more accurately depict ridge lines and the effects of blocking on potential wind resources. These data also produce a more accurate overall picture of the distribution of the wind resource. However, the updated assessments are model-derived data 3
