In the layer, transmission lines have been symbolized by voltage capacity. After exploring this map, you'll save your own version of the map for further analysis. The map will familiarize you with the features and attributes you'll be using to locate a new site for the development of a high-efficiency wind farm. In this section, you'll open a map illustrating current wind turbine locations and wind power potential across the state of Colorado. Finally, you'll combine these into a single layer on which you can conduct a multicriteria analysis to locate a few viable sites. Next, you'll start querying these layers to narrow down locations with the characteristics you want. To meet these criteria, you'll save a copy of the map and explore the data you have on population, existing wind farms and power lines, and average wind speeds around the state. Within 5 miles of existing wind farms containing turbines where the rotor diameters span at least 100 feet.Within 10 miles of existing power lines that have a capacity of at least 400 kilovolts (kV).In areas where the wind power class is at least 4 (Annual wind speeds in these areas at 10 meters off the ground are generally at least 5.6 meters per second, and at 50 meters off the ground are generally 7.0 meters per second.
In counties where the population as of 2010 is at least 20,000.The selected site must meet several characteristics: A Colorado-based wind energy company has hired you to identify several potential sites in the state for the installation of high-efficiency wind turbines.
