XMap at Work – Wind Map Examples

By xmap

California Wind Resources: 3-D Map displaying wind resource data layer for California from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) overlaid on DeLorme’s SAT10 satellite imagery

Wind Farm Layout: Simulated wind farm mapping project displayed simultaneously in 2-D, with a base map of USA Topographic data, and in 3-D, overlaid on an aerial image downloaded using XMap’s Netlink function. Other layers show property ownership polygons, turbine locations and a 2000ft buffer indicating the zone of maximum impact.

Wind Projects in Southern Scotland: Currently active wind energy projects in the Glasgow region of Scotland. Points were imported from a spreadsheet containing data from each wind farm.

Wind Potential and Turbine output in Denmark: Point layer containing all wind turbines in Denmark, symbolized to convey electrical output in 2007, overlaid on a map showing areas of maximum wind speed.

North Atlantic Wind Speed: Near real-time satellite derived wind speed data downloaded from NOAA. Each point displays the speed and direction measured at the point of observation.

Brazil Wind Resources: Wind resource data covering Brazil, classified and symbolized to show area of maximum potential.
