This is the final technical report for the FY21-24 project "Solar Siting and Land-use in Decarbonized Energy Systems."
Siting Lab contains a collection of user-friendly tutorials and guides for working with the Siting Lab (https://data.openei.org/siting_lab) data within the context of the reV model. The python code examples demonstrate the creation and transformation of Siting Lab data into reV compliant format as well as working with the reV model inputs and outputs. Specifically, Siting Lab provides a collection of Jupyter Notebooks that serve as guides for working with data from NREL's spatial analysis portfolio. These notebooks teach users how to create and interact with reV data in order to facilitate external use of the model. The guides in this repository reference NREL's Supply Curve data as well as Siting Lab spatial data available on OEDI.
Via-wind is an open-source tool for conducting visual impact assessments for wind turbines. It combines geographic information system (GIS) and 3D simulation methods to account for the key factors driving the visual impact of installed wind turbines, including distance, viewing angle, turbine orientation, visual exposure, and the cumulative effects of multiple turbines. This software is optimized for use in high-performance computing environments to enable large scale (e.g., country-wide) analysis, but can also be run on a single server or personal computer.
