Wind+Classes

- Wind classifications
 * Wind energy classifications are very useful when it comes to wind resources, especially wind speed. Wind speed is directly correlated to the amount of energy that can be gathered from the wind. Therefore, with these classifications, it easier to predict the type of winds and how much energy will come from them.
 * The image below contains a table of wind classifications as well as where in the country these classes can be found.
 * Example - Wind Class 5 (Excellent Wind Conditions) - can be found through the Great Lakes, the northwest and northeastern parts of the country.
 * It is also noted that the best wind generation comes from winds that are Wind Class 3 and up (around 13 mph)
