Shipping Lanes, UXOs, and Danger Zones Excluded Areas Joined Offshore Wind Farm Site Selection Along The Coast of Virginia By Lauren Yun, Rock Ridge High School Wind Speed at 90 m Wind Speed Reclassified Shipping Lanes, UXOs, and Danger Zones Excluded Areas Joined Why Offshore Wind? As we move toward renewable energy, every region must consider the most efficient use of their resources. In California, for example, a law was recently passed requiring new homes to include solar panels. Solar energy is fine for CA– but what about Virginia? Offshore wind is already popular in Europe. Overseas innovations in technology have reduced costs, making offshore wind a more realistic investment in the United States-- already there has been burgeoning interest in developing offshore wind along the East Coast. This project aims to determine the optimal sites for offshore wind specifically along the coast of Virginia. Bathymetry Bathymetry Reclassified Excluded Areas Removed From Suitability Model Extract By Mask Wrecks and Obstructions Obstructions by Point Density Possible Stakeholders: Government agencies (Department of Energy), elected officials, independent firms (Vestas, GE Energy), environmental interest groups Optimal Sites For Offshore Wind Weighted Overlay: Wind Speed Given Most Weight Conditional Extraction: Extract Suitability Value of 4 (Most Suitable) Other Factors to Consider: This model by no means includes all factors pertinent to the site selection of an offshore wind farm. Further study might include the impact of offshore wind turbines on the environment, such as bird flyaways and protected habitats. In addition, wind farms may be disruptive to recreational and commercial fishing, as well as to the aesthetics of the shoreline, which may negatively affect tourism.
