Abstract

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) PV Rooftop Database for Puerto Rico (PVRDB-PR) is a lidar-derived, geospatially-resolved dataset of suitable roof surfaces and their PV technical potential for virtually all buildings in Puerto Rico. The dataset can be downloaded at the AWS S3 explorer page. The GitHub documentation page provides a description of the dataset with methods and assumptions. The Puerto Rico Solar-For-All dataset provides Census Tract level estimates of residential low-to-moderate income (LMI) PV rooftop technical potential as well as solar electric bill savings potential for LMI communities at the municipality level.

PV Rooftop Database

Dataset Mooney, Meghan

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Photovoltaic (PV) Rooftop Database (PVRDB) is a lidar-derived, geospatially-resolved dataset of suitable roof surfaces and their PV technical potential for 128 metropolitan regions in the United States. The PVRDB data are organized by city and year of lidar collection. Five geospatial layers are available for each city and year: 1) the raster extent of the lidar collection, 2) buildings identified from the lidar data, 3) suitable developable planes for each building, 4) aspect values of the developable planes, and 5) the technical potential estimates of the developable planes.
Puerto Rico Solar-for-All: LMI PV Rooftop Technical Potential and Solar Savings Potential

Dataset Mooney, Meghan ; Waechter, Katy ; Miller, Clark

The Puerto Rico Solar-For-All dataset provides Census Tract level estimates of residential low-to-moderate income (LMI) PV rooftop technical potential as well as solar electric bill savings potential for LMI communities at the municipality level. Each dataset is broken out by income group, defined by the Area Median Income (AMI), by tenure, and by building type. The underlying LiDAR data used the estimation were collected in 2015-2017 and the American Community Survey (ACS) data are from 2011-2015. This Puerto Rico Solar-For-All dataset is intended to extend the SEEDSII Solar-For-All estimates for the US 50-states (https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy18osti/70901.pdf) for the territory of Puerto Ricomore »« less
Dayflow-PR: High-Resolution Streamflow Reanalysis for Puerto Rico, Version 1.0

Dataset Ghimire, Ganesh ; Gangrade, Sudershan ; Kao, Shih-Chieh ; ...

This dataset provides a high-resolution historical streamflow reanalysis for NHDPlusV2 stream reaches across Puerto Rico (PR) spanning 1950–2019. The reanalysis is generated using the VIC-RAPID hydrologic modeling framework, forced with both sub-daily and daily meteorological forcings from Daymet. Runoff is simulated on 1- and 6-km grids, and the resulting total runoff is routed through the NHDPlusV2 river network using the RAPID routing model to produce Naturalized Streamflow Reanalysis. Where complete observational records are available, streamflows are assimilated (substituted) and subsequently routed downstream through the river network to produce Assimilated Streamflow Reanalysis. The dataset includes streamflow outputs from eight distinct hydrologicmore »« less
Dayflow-PR: High-Resolution Streamflow Reanalysis for Puerto Rico, Version 1.0

Dataset Ghimire, Ganesh R ; Gangrade, Sudershan ; Kao, Shih-Chieh ; ...

This dataset presents a high-resolution historical streamflow reanalysis for NHDPlusV2 stream reaches across Puerto Rico (PR) spanning 1950 - 2019. The reanalysis is generated using the calibrated VIC-RAPID hydrologic modeling framework at the Hydrologic Unit Code Sub-basin (HUC08) scale, forced with sub-daily and daily meteorological forcings from Daymet. Runoff is simulated on 1- and 6-km grids, and the resulting total runoff is routed through the NHDPlusV2 river network using the RAPID routing model to produce Naturalized Streamflow Reanalysis. Where complete observational records are available over 1980 - 2019, streamflows are assimilated (substituted) and subsequently routed downstream through the river networkmore »« less
Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico Landsat Analysis

Dataset Feng, Yanlei ; Chambers, Jeff ; Negron-Juarez, Robinson ; ...

Hurricane Maria made landfall as a strong Category 4 storm in southeast Puerto Rico on September 20th, 2018. The powerful storm traversed the island in a northwesterly direction causing widespread destruction. This study focused on a rapid assessment of Hurricane Marias impact to Puerto Ricos forests. Calibrated and corrected Landsat 8 image composites for the entire island were generated using Google Earth Engine for a comparable pre-Maria and post-Maria time period that accounted for phenology. Spectral mixture analysis (SMA) using image-derived end members was carried out on both composites to calculate the change in the non-photosynthetic vegetation (Delta-NPV) spectral response,more »« less
