A note on "Speed" vs. "Gust":
"Speed" is the windspeed sampled over a one minute period,
"Gust" is the windspeed sampled over a 14 second period.
For "Av. Speeds" (those covering more than one minute), an average of the "Speeds" for that period is used.
Wind Energy |
 |
This shows the number of hours that each wind speed has been reached.
For generating energy with a turbine, an average of >4m/s is generally required for local use, and >6m/s for grid use,
so this location is unlikely to be suitable for either. |
