・3TIER Releases 5 km Wind Map of the World( PDF )

" 3TIER, one the largest independent providers of global
renewable energy assessment and forecasting, today unveiled a 5 kilometer resolution
global wind map based upon the most accurate, consistent and comprehensive dataset
ever created of global wind resources and their spatial and temporal variability.
“This map is intended to accelerate the development of wind energy by quantifying the
value of the wind resource at any location around the world,” said Kenneth Westrick,
CEO and founder of 3TIER. “The underlying dataset provides the information developers,
financiers and governments need to target the best regions in the world for data collection
and higher resolution studies. In short, this map and dataset shortens the process needed
to make sound decisions about where to invest in wind energy generation.”
3TIER unveiled its map and dataset at the 14th UN Climate Change Conference in
Pozna., Poland, as part of the Global Wind Energy Council’s (GWEC) “Wind Power
Works” campaign. “Wind Power Works” is a focused, year-long effort to increase the
understanding and visibility of the important role the wind energy industry and
technology play in combating climate change.
