Objective

The fundamental requirements for conducting a temporal and geographic analysis of wind energy power plant deployment is to construct a database that contains the following for all projects deployed globally:
  1. Installed capacity (rated output) and capacity factor (if available for verification)
  2. Commissioning year 
  3. Location (geographic coordinates)
  4. Resource quality measure
This information can then be used to respond to the overarching research question: how does historical project deployment correlates to resource quality on a global and in-country basis? Our initial hypotheses are:
