Abstract

The Puerto Rico/US Virgin Island atlas assimilates three collections of wind resource data: one for the region as a whole and one each for both the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. For the two subregions, features of the climate, topography and wind resource are discussed in greater detail than is provided in the regional discussion, and the data locations on which the assessment is based are mapped. Variations, over several time scales, in the wind resource at selected stations in both subregions are shown on graphs of monthly average and interannual wind speed and power, and hourly average wind speed for each season. Other graphs present speed, direction and duration frequencies of the wind at these locations.

High-Resolution Wind Resource Data Set of the Greater Puerto Rico Region

Technical Report Sengupta, Manajit; Yang, Jaemo; Xie, Yu

In February 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy and six national laboratories launched the Puerto Rico Grid Resilience and Transitions to 100% Renewable Energy Study (PR100). PR100 aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of possible pathways for Puerto Rico's energy future, with a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050. As a part of the renewable energy potential assessment in this project, we developed 20 years (2001-2020) of data using a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model for onshore and offshore wind resource assessment for the Puerto Rico. The research steps in developing the long-term wind resource data sets based onmore »« less

Water-use data collection techniques in the southeastern United States, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Water resources investigations

Technical Report Holland, T

The report describes the techniques and methods used by the U.S. Geological Survey, State, and local cooperators to collect water-use data from 1985-90 in the following Southeastern States, Commonwealth, or Territory: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In 1977, the Congress of the United States directed the U.S. Geological Survey to establish a National Water-Use Information Program to complement the Survey`s data on availability and quality of the Nation`s water resources. Water-use data are collected in as many as 11 categories as part of this nationalmore »« less
Insular Area energy vulnerability, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands. Technical Appendix 1

Technical Report Stern, M; Willard, E; Efferding, S

This report was prepared in response to Section 1406 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (P.L. 192-486). The Act directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to ``conduct a study of the implications of the unique vulnerabilities of the insular areas to an oil supply disruption,`` and to ``outline how the insular areas shall gain access to vital oil supplies during times of national emergency.`` The Act defines the insular areas to be the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, and Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Palau in the Pacific.more »« less

Wind energy resource atlas. Volume 3. Great Lakes Region

Technical Report Paton, D; Bass, A; Smith, D; ...

The Great Lakes Region atlas assimilates six collections of wind resource data, one for the region and one for each of the five states that compose the Great Lakes region: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin. At the state level, features of the climate, topography, and wind resource are discussed in greater detail than in the regional discussion and the data locations on which the assessment is based are mapped. Variations over several time scales in the wind resource at selected stations in each state are shown on graphs of monthly average and interannual wind speed and power, and of hourlymore »« less
