NREL Renewable Energy Resource Data

This data is derived from the Wind Integration National Dataset (WIND) Toolkit and the Solar Integration National Dataset (SIND). The WIND Toolkit provides meteorological conditions and turbine power for more than 126,000 land-based and offshore wind sites across the continental United States. The SIND Toolkit provides subhourly solar power data designed to assist researchers and utilities in solar generation integration studies.

Wind resource data contains:
- Meteorological data at 100m above ground level (Wind Speed and Direction, Temperature, and Pressure)
- Computed wind power assuming a 100m hub height
- Forecasted wind power data as well as forecast probabilities
Solar resource data:
- Meteorological data at ground level (solar irradiance -- GHI, DNI --, Wind speed, Temperature, Pressure)
- Computed solar power assuming a variety of technologies (Fixed tilt, single axis tracking, dual axis tracking, distributed residential)
