Week 11: Google Earth


I chose this area to locate the Great Lakes Wind farm. It's located in the eastern part of Lake Michigan. This location is in a zone that has the most projected power output per turbine. It is close in proximity to major existing transmission lines. The distance is far enough offshore (15 km) to mitigate any noise or shadows cast by the towers but close enough for acceptable water depth.
