The purpose of this project is to develop a set of guidelines to help direct a rational site-selection process for small wind energy conversion systems (SWECS). This process utilizes the hand-drawn overlay method for site planning. Overlay mapping is a method of logical association used to analyze the different relationships among different patterns of land characteristics onto transparent or semi-transparent material. The maps are then overlaid to show a pattern of light and dark tones, revealing areas of site potentials and limitations for the given use which in this case is SWECS. Existing wind assessment techniques are reviewed as validation tools for SWECS siting. This site-selection method is demonstrated by a case study of a site in Indiana. / Department of Landscape Architecture
