Abstract: Monthly and annual average solar resource potential for the lower 48 states of the United States of America.

Purpose: Provide information on the solar resource potential for the for the lower 48 states of the United States of America.

Abstract: Monthly and annual average solar resource potential for 48 Contiguous United States.

Purpose: Provide information on the solar resource potential for the 48 contiguous states.

Developed by NREL and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, this geographic toolkit that allows users to relate the renewable energy resource (solar and wind) data to other geographic data, such as land use, protected areas, elevation, etc.

The GsT was completely redesigned and re-released in November 2010 to provide a more modern, easier-to-use interface with considerably faster analytical querying capabilities. The revised version of the Geospatial Toolkit for Turkey is available using the following link: http://www.nrel.gov/international/downloads/gst_turkey.exe

(Abstract):  Data of high resolution (10kmx10km) Global Horizontal Irradiance (DNI) for United Arab Emirates (UAE). The data are available for monthly and annual sums stored in a ESRI-Shapefile.

(Purpose):  The data are helpful for the assessment of the solar potential of the country and can give project developer a
first impression of the solar resource of the country.

(Abstract):  Data of high resolution (10kmx10km) Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) for United Arab Emirates (UAE). The data are available for monthly and annual sums stored in a ESRI-Shapefile.

(Purpose):  The data are helpful for the assessment of the solar potential of the country and can give project developer a
first impression of the solar resource of the country.

(Abstract):  The Kenya Country Report describes the
energy situation in Kenys and identifies solar and wind
energy opportunities.

(Purpose):  To influence investment decisions by promoting and supporting renewable energy by overcoming informational barriers in solar and wind energy financing.

Freedom Field is a not-for-profit organization formed to facilitate development and commercialization of renewable energy solutions. The organization has installed a variety of renewable energy generating technologies at their facility (located at Rock River Water Reclamation in Rockford, IL), with the intention of serving as a demonstration facility. The facility monitors data (at 5-minute intervals) from a weather station, 12.4 kW of PV panels (56 220-watt panels), a 10kW wind turbine (HAWT), a 1.2 kW wind turbine (VAWT), an absorption cooling system, and biogas burners.

(Abstract):  Monthly average solar resource for horizontal flat-plate collectors for China.

(Purpose):  Provide information on the solar resource potential for the data domain. The insolation values represent the average solar energy available to a flat plate collector, such as a photovoltaic panel, oriented horizontally.

This dataset corresponds to the final report on a screening study to compare six methods of removing noncondensable gases from direct-use geo-thermal steam power plants. This report defines the study methodologies and compares the performance and economics of selected gas-removal systems. Recommendations are presented for follow-up investigations and implementation of some of the technologies discussed.
