Modeled Wind Speed Raster (at 30m)

In continuing a policy of promoting renewable and clean energy sources, the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) has put considerable effort into researching development sites for wind-based energy production. A key datalayer in this initiative is a modeled representation of wind velocities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The original wind resource data were developed by Truewind Solutions, LLC under contract to AWS Scientific, Inc. as part of a project jointly funded by the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC), and Northeast Utilities System. This data has undergone further processing to make it more suitable for analyses that utilize other geographic datalayers maintained by MassGIS. The layer is named IMG_WIND_SPD30M.

为持续推进可再生清洁能源发展政策，马萨诸塞州能源与环境事务执行办公室（Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, EOEEA）已投入大量精力开展风电开发场址的调研工作。本项目的核心数据图层之一，是马萨诸塞州联邦（Commonwealth of Massachusetts）的模拟风速表征数据。原始风能资源数据由Truewind Solutions, LLC受AWS Scientific, Inc.委托开发，该项目由康涅狄格清洁能源基金、马萨诸塞州技术协作组织（Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, MTC）以及东北公用事业系统（Northeast Utilities System）联合资助。本数据集已经过进一步处理，以适配结合MassGIS维护的其他地理数据图层开展的分析工作。该数据图层命名为IMG_WIND_SPD30M。
