Revision History for U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 817 By Jay E. Diffendorfer, Roger Compton, Louisa Kramer, Zach Ancona, and Donna Norton Onshore Industrial Wind Turbine Locations for the United States ----------------------------------------------------- Posted online February 11, 2014 ----------------------------------------------------- Revised and reposted May 4, 2015, version 1.1 The wind turbine dataset was updated as follows: It now includes new turbines listed in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Obstacle Repository System (ORS) Digital Obstacle File (DOF) through March 2, 2014. This is 171 new turbines and over 1000 updated ORS numbers. In addition, 5 new attributes (total_cpcy, total_turb, year_range, on_year_s, and decommiss) were added to improve the web application. Please see the metadata for descriptions. All user feedback was reviewed and 25 constructive user feedback comments resulted in 18 new features. Turbine locations with a confidence of none or partial were checked using updated high resolution imagery and changed accordingly. Extensive update of more than 25,000 features of the EIA_name field using a newer version of the EIA 860 data set. Turbine locations with a conf_loc of none (0) or partial (1) were checked against current imagery and over 750 were updated to full (2) confidence. ----------------------------------------------------- Revised and reposted January 19, 2017, version 1.2 The original 2013 wind turbine dataset was added back to the report. This dataset provides industrial-scale onshore wind turbine locations in the United States through July 22, 2013, corresponding facility information, and turbine technical specifications. The database has more than 47,000 wind turbine records that have been collected, digitized, locationally verified and internally quality controlled. Additional information on the 2013 dataset is available on the report’s citation page (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ds817)and index page (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/817/). The citation and index pages for Data Series 817 were revised to provide links to both the 2013 and 2014 datasets in ScienceBase. The 2014 dataset was added May 4, 2015. Details of the 2014 dataset are provided in the May 4, 2015 revision history. The report title was revised to remove the date. The report text was updated with minor changes to reflect an update of turbine data. -----------------------------------------------------
