Description: Distribution of wind speed (red) and energy generated (blue) for all of 2002 at the Lee Ranch facility in Colorado. The histogram shows measured data, while the curve is the Raleigh model distribution for the same average wind speed. Energy is the Betz limit through a 100 meter diameter circle facing directly into the wind. Total energy for the year through that circle was 15.4 gigawatt-hours. See [1].

Ideally, the source script for this image would be inserted here. If that's appropriate (it is two text files, gnuplot and perl), I can do that. Iain McClatchie 20:26, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
