The visualization tool interactively displays wind\ngeneration over different time intervals in three-dimensional space. The viewer\ncan look across the state to understand generation patterns of regions with\nconcentrations of wind power plants. The tool aids in understanding high and\nlow periods of generation. Operation of the electric grid requires that generation\nand demand are balanced in each period.</span><span style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12pt;'>\u00a0</span><div><span style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12pt;'><br /></span></div><div><span style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12pt;'><br /></span></div><div><span style='font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12pt; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);'>The height and color of\ncolumns at wind generation areas are scaled and shaded to represent capacity\nfactors (CFs) of the areas in a specific time interval. Capacity factor is the\nratio of the energy produced to the amount of energy that could ideally have\nbeen produced in the same period using the rated nameplate capacity. Due to\nnatural variations in wind speeds, higher factors tend to be seen over short\ntime periods, with lower factors over longer periods. The capacity used is the\nreported nameplate capacity from the Quarterly Fuel and Energy Report, CEC-1304A.\nCFs are based on wind plants in service in the wind generation areas.</span></div><div><font face='Helvetica, sans-serif'><span style='font-size:16px;'><br /></span></font><p style='margin-bottom:20.25pt; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;'><span style='font-size:12.0pt; font-family:&quot;Helvetica&quot;,sans-serif;'>Renewable energy\nresources like wind facilities vary in size and geographic distribution within\neach state.
