Wind resource data was created by Paul Gilman

I have wind resource data in a spreadsheet. How can I use it in SAM?
SAM's wind power model reads weather files in the SRW format. You can find a description of the format in SAM's Help system (See Weather File formats under Weather Data in the table of contents). You can also find examples of files in the wind_resource folder of your SAM installation (in Windows, by default the folder is in C:SAM/2016.3.14/wind_resource).
Best regards,

Paul.
