Wind Application

Our wind application involves a series of primarily Silverlight demos.  Two of the chief technologies GeoLab has been focusing on include: the more advanced 1.0 Silverlight control from ESRI, and the Microsoft Bing control for Silverlight which is still in Beta. Two demonstrations using these controls are available from GeoLab, and are constantly being updated on an Agile Development schedule. These demonstrations utilize NREL 50 meter wind data, FEMA electric transmission data, BLM land ownership data, GAP protected areas data, and other layers that apply to the overall project goal of wind suitability for an area. We are in the process of adding REST/WCF services, GeoRSS, Address Searches, WMS overlays, and other controls to demonstrate the power of Silverlight.

The following Microsoft Silverlight® Wind Application is currently under development:
