Minnesota High Resolution Wind Resource
Annual average wind resource potential for Minnesota at a 50 meter height.
This data set has been validated by NREL and wind energy meteorological consultants. *Note:* This data is not suitable for micro-siting potential development projects.
###Original data
Data from [Minnesota state portal](http://mn.gov/portal/search/?query=wind+resource). The 30m and 80m wind speed values were averaged, then converted to power density assuming a Weibull K of 2.0 and using elevation to estimate air density.
This map has been validated with available surface data by NREL and wind energy meteorological consultants.
