• 24-Hour time lapse simulation showing the human view from the beach of the awarded buildout (76 turbines, 3 offshore substations) from 84^th street in Ocean City. Turbines are the design standard 817 foot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq5LabMbE-c&t=1s
• Early morning simulation showing the human view from the beach of a fully built out lease area (121 turbines, 4 offshore substations) from Bethany Beach. Turbines are the maximum allowable height in our project design envelope (938 feet): https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/BethanyBeach-Morning-PrevailingWinds-TraditionalPanorama.pdf
• Mid-afternoon simulation showing the human view from the beach of a fully built out lease area (121 turbines, 4 offshore substations) from Bethany Beach. Turbines are the maximum allowable height in our project design envelope (938 feet): https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/BethanyBeach-MidAfternoon-PrevailingWinds-TraditionalPanorama.pdf
• Late-afternoon simulation showing the human view from the beach of a fully built out lease area (121 turbines, 4 offshore substations) from Bethany Beach. Turbines are the maximum allowable height in our project design envelope (938 feet): https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/BethanyBeach-LateAfternoon-PrevailingWinds-TraditionalPanorama.pdf
• Nighttime simulation showing the human view from the beach of a fully built out lease area (121 turbines, 4 offshore substations) from Bethany Beach. Turbines are the maximum allowable height in our project design envelope (938 feet). Note – US Wind will use Aircraft Detection Lighting System technology if it is approved by the FAA. ADLS lights only turn on when a low-flying aircraft is in the vicinity. Analysis suggests that this would mean the lights would be on for only a few hours over the course of an entire year: https://www.boem.gov/sites/default/files/documents/renewable-energy/state-activities/BethanyBeach-Night-PrevailingWinds-TraditionalPanorama.pdf
