This data layer is a vector version of the AWS Truewind, LLC, Massachusetts Technology
Collaborative 50 meter elevation wind power density raster
layer. The raster layer work was jointly funded by the Connecticut Clean Energy
Fund, the Massachusetts Technological Collaborative, and Northeast Utilities
System.
The raster data were re-classified (AWS_CLASS) in accordance with the 8 classes used by Mass. Tech et al. The data were then converted from raster to polygon using the GRIDPOLY command. The PWRDENSITY field was created to show the power density range (watts/sq. meters) for each class. The data were then transformed from WGS1984 to NAD83 SPC using NAD1983toWGS1984 transform 5 (United States) and clipped to the extent of the WINDSPEEDGRID_POLY layer created by MassGIS and AWS Truewind, LLC. Processing of this polygon layer was completed by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) GIS program and provided to MassGIS for distribution.
The layer is named WINDPOWERGRID50_POLY.
