Informing the siting of offshore renewable energy (Block Island, Rhode Island, USA)
Exploring offshore wind energy tradeoffs.
Project summary
Solar Energy Science Project Topics What Are Pv Panels We explored how siting the first-in-the-nation offshore wind energy farm might impact views from along the coastline. We developed an approach for deriving visibility maps based on the location and duration of viewing by residents and visitors. We illuminated tradeoffs by comparing these visibility maps to wind energy value maps.
