Overview
Personal Profile
Brandon Benton's research falls broadly into wind and solar modeling, with a specific focus on renewable resource availability. He uses a combination of conventional physics based simulations and machine learning to generate wind and solar data at spatiotemporal scales needed for energy systems planning. Examples of this data include Sup3rWind/Sup3rCC, generated with the "Super Resolution for Renewable Energy Resource Data" or "Sup3r" framework, and the National Solar Radiation Database.
