Wind power potential - capacity factor (Sugra derived)

Changed on

Modelled wind power potential (capacity factor 0-1) at any coordinate worldwide, computed by Sugra from the Sugra Earth forecast spine's 10 m wind via a clean-room turbine power curve. A grid-derived free-rider (no new external fetch). v1 is a 10 m APPROXIMATION - not hub-height wind - and understates true hub-height potential.
