Regional Wind Energy Assessment Progress Report, June 1986-May 1987.
This report is a summary of wind statistics collected for the period June 1986 through May 1987. The data were gathered at 14 locations throughout the Pacific Northwest. Data are being collected as part of Bonneville Power Administration's Regional Wind Energy Assessment Program (Wind REAP) that has been continuing since 1981. The main objectives in this report are to: summarize data collected during the past year; document the status of each site including any equipment problems and quality assurance; discuss the relationship of this year's winds to those of previous years in the context of the climate experienced in the Pacific Northwest; present analysis of wind characteristics at each site that will provide potential developers with necessary information to assess the quality and quantity of the wind resource; and evaluate the current cost feasibility of wind energy in the Pacific Northwest. 6 refs., 22 tabs., 25 figs.
