The Site Survey

Can I see for miles in the direction of the prevailing wind?


8

You can find the exact location of the site using Google Earth This one is 43° 01’ 36.52” x 75° 19’ 32.41”

Now look up the wind speed and prevailing wind direction using www.awstruewind.com

From Google Earth measurement from Kellogg Rd., I guessed that The hill at Spring Farm is here:


10

Good guess! Here’s the wind report for that spot:

Prevailing wind direction

This is nice… the long view is in the direction of the prevailing winds.

What’s the Weibull k?

This is a probability chart. It shows the probability that the wind speed will be a certain value, given a mean and shape number k. For example, about 11% of the time the wind speed will be 5.5 m/s.

Visit and read up! http://www.windpower.org/en/tour/wres/weibull.htm


14

To find out how much energy you can get out of the wind, you have to figure out the power density for each bin in your Weibull histogram and multiply it by time.

This site looks good. Now what?

Is there zoning? Yes Are there height limits? Yes Apply for Variance

No No

Fill out SEQR

Apply for Building permit

If Variance granted

If there is zoning, the Town is the Lead Agency for the SEQR, otherwise it’s NYSERDA

Complete NYSERDA paperwork

Aesthetics issues may kill project at this stage

May not be approved if wind speed less than 10 mph May approve less than 50% of the total cost

Complete utility paperwork Install it
