NREL resource data for solar, CSP, PV, and wind energy were deemed suitable for a regional- scale analysis. However, the current national biomass resource information appeared to be incomplete, and a comprehensive geothermal resource database did not exist. The resource data used are suitable for a regional 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 occurred in the summer of 2001 and represents 14 solar collector configurations. The data were developed using NREL’s Climatological Solar Radiation Model. Appendix B describes the solar data in further detail. CSP The CSP analysis used direct normal data. These data are pertinent to concentrating systems that track the sun throughout the day, such as trough collectors or dishes. PV Data for flat-plate collectors were used. This is typical for a photovoltaic panel oriented due south at an angle from horizontal equal to the latitude of the collector’s location. Wind A low-resolution (~25 km2) U.S. wind resource assessment was produced in 1987. Since then, NREL and other organizations have produced updated higher resolution (0.16 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. But 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 resource. However, the updated assessments are model-derived data and not a substitute for on-site measurements before actual site development, even with the large increase in resolution. NREL has completed and validated updated assessments for Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana in the western United States. Updated assessments by other organizations were completed for Colorado and New Mexico, but NREL has not yet validated them. Currently, NREL plans to complete additional updated assessments for Wyoming in April 2002, and late in 2002 for the remaining western states listed in this report. Information on updated wind resource assessments is available at http://www.eren.doe.gov/windpoweringamerica. For this analysis, the updated NREL assessments were used when completed, and the 1987 assessment was used for the rest of the states. Wherever the Colorado and New Mexico assessments showed higher resource estimates than those shown by the 1987 assessment, those areas were added to the analysis. See Appendix B for more information on data sources. 5
