The Wind Map of Bangladesh is a comprehensive geospatial platform designed to visualize, analyze, and understand wind resource potential across the country. This interactive mapping system provides valuable insights into wind patterns, speeds, and suitable locations for wind energy development, supporting informed decision-making for renewable energy projects.
Wind mapping plays a crucial role in identifying optimal locations for wind energy installations by providing detailed information about wind characteristics, geographical constraints, and resource availability. The map integrates multiple data layers including wind speed measurements, terrain analysis, land use patterns, and infrastructure data to create a comprehensive resource assessment tool.
The Wind Map of Bangladesh offers numerous features including interactive visualization of wind resources, multi-layer data integration for comprehensive analysis, site suitability assessment tools, and data export capabilities for further research and planning. Users can explore different regions, overlay various data layers, and identify promising locations for wind energy development.
This platform is an essential tool for developers, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders in the renewable energy sector. SREDA utilizes this mapping system to promote wind energy development, support project planning, and contribute to Bangladesh's renewable energy goals and sustainable development objectives.
Wind mapping technology has evolved significantly over the past few decades, transitioning from basic wind resource assessments to sophisticated GIS-based platforms. Early wind resource mapping relied on ground-based measurements and meteorological stations, which provided limited spatial coverage.
With the advent of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies, wind mapping became more comprehensive and accurate. Modern wind maps integrate satellite data, weather models, topographical information, and ground measurements to create detailed wind resource atlases. These technological advances have enabled more precise site selection and resource assessment for wind energy projects.
The development of the Wind Map of Bangladesh represents a significant milestone in the country's renewable energy journey. Initiated by SREDA, this comprehensive mapping project aims to identify and document wind resource potential across all regions of Bangladesh. The project involves extensive data collection, analysis, and integration of multiple data sources to create an accurate and useful resource mapping platform.
P.S. This map is developed by using SREDA wind Met Mast data, data from BMDA and related primary data Sources.
The Wind Map of Bangladesh integrates multiple data sources and layers to provide a comprehensive view of wind resources and related geographical information. The platform includes various data layers organized by categories, each containing specific information relevant to wind energy assessment and site suitability analysis.
The map incorporates data from multiple authoritative sources including SREDA wind measurement stations, Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) weather stations, and other primary data sources. Each data layer on the map includes metadata information such as data source, update year, and detailed descriptions that help users understand the origin and reliability of the information displayed.
Users can access detailed information about each data layer through the layer information feature, which provides metadata including the data source organization, the year of data collection or last update, and comprehensive descriptions of the layer content. This transparency in data sourcing ensures that users can make informed decisions based on reliable and traceable information.
The Wind Map of Bangladesh continues to evolve with regular updates, improved data accuracy, and enhanced features. SREDA is committed to maintaining and expanding this valuable resource, incorporating new data sources, refining mapping methodologies, and adding new analytical tools to support the growing wind energy sector in Bangladesh.
