Wind power data of wind turbine generator

How many wind turbines are there in America?

Today more than 72,000 wind turbines across the country are generating clean, reliable power. Wind power capacity totals 151 GW, making it the fourth-largest source of electricity generation capacity in the country. This is enough wind power to serve the equivalent of 46 million American homes.

Is there a dataset for offshore wind farms?

Although open international offshore wind farm datasets, such as the global datasets of wind and solar farms (GBWSFs) built by Dunnett et al 14., can be freely accessed, there are obvious omissions of turbine numbers and recording errors of wind turbine locations.

What percentage of electricity is generated by wind turbines?

In 2022, wind turbines were the source of about 10.3% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation. Utility scale includes facilities with at least one megawatt (1,000 kilowatts) of electricity generation capacity. Last updated: December 27, 2023, with data from the Electric Power Monthly, December 2023.

How many kilowatthours do wind turbines generate a year?

Total annual U.S. electricity generation from wind energy increased from about 6 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2000 to about 434 billion kWh in 2022. In 2022, wind turbines were the source of about 10.3% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation.

Is there a global remote sensing-based offshore wind turbine database?

Here, we construct a global remote sensing-based offshore wind turbine (OWT) database derived from Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) time-series images from 2015 to 2019.

How are wind turbine records collected & compiled?

Wind turbine records are collected and compiled from various public and private sources, digitized or position-verified from aerial imagery, and quality checked. Technical specifications for turbines are obtained directly from project developers and turbine manufacturers, or they are based on data obtained from public sources.
