3-D Interactive Visualization of California Wind Generators

This interactive three-dimensional visualization displays wind generating projects in California in perspective. The visualization shows generation projects and Wind Resource Area (WRA) locations on a base map of wind resources. Columns at the project locations are scaled so the height represents the nameplate capacity or capacity factor of the project. (Capacity factor is the ratio of the energy produced to the amount that could have been produced in the same period.) Circular areas at WRA locations show the capacities of the WRAs.
