Highlights

• We assessed China׳s wind resources by uti­liz­ing 10 years of hourly

   wind speed data of 200 sites.

• We built provin­cial scale wind speed pro­files and develop

   provin­cial capac­i­ty fac­tors for China.

• We found that China׳s wind gen­er­a­tion could reach 2000 TWh to

   3500 TWh annually.

• We observed sim­i­lar tem­po­ral vari­a­tion pat­tern of wind 

   avail­abil­i­ty across China.
