```

**Response:** 
```
### Energy Yield Estimate
Based on the site-specific wind data and a 5MW turbine configuration at a 120m hub height, here is the estimate:

| Metric | Estimate |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Annual Energy Production (AEP)** | **18,500 - 21,000 MWh/year** |
| **Mean Wind Speed** | 7.8 m/s |
| **Capacity Factor** | 42% - 48% |

*Note: A full P50/P75/P90 analysis would require a detailed order for complete time series.*
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the solar potential like in New Mexico for a PV farm?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Solar Resource Assessment: New Mexico
I've pulled the solar resource data for that region. The site shows excellent potential:

* **Annual GHI**: ~2,150 kWh/m²/year
* **DNI**: ~780 kWh/m²/year (Strong direct sunlight, ideal for concentrating solar)
* **Temperature**: Averages 14°C annually (Favorable for PV module efficiency)
* **Cloud Cover**: Low overall, with minimal soiling concerns.

This location is highly favorable for both standard PV and concentrated solar systems.

Absolutely. You can check data availability for specific coordinates before placing an order to ensure the variables you need are covered.

**How do I track my data orders?**
You can check the status of any previously placed data order to see if it is pending, processing, or ready for download.

**Does this cover global locations?**
Yes, it provides access to wind and solar data for onshore and offshore locations worldwide.

**How do I get an API token for DNV Renewables?**
Visit the DNV Renewables platform and contact your DNV account manager or visit the EMD/DNV Renewables website to request API access. Once your account is provisioned, you'll receive an API access token from your account dashboard. This token authenticates your requests and is linked to your subscription plan.

**How does the data ordering process work?**
The data ordering process is: 1) Check availability for your location, 2) Place an order with dataset, coordinates, and time period, 3) Wait ~30 seconds for processing, 4) Check order status until 'success', 5) Download the generated time series file. Note: Download links expire after 12 hours, so download promptly. Rate limit is 10 orders per 10 minutes.

**What is mesoscale climate data and why is it useful?**
Mesoscale climate data comes from numerical weather prediction models that simulate atmospheric conditions at regional scales (typically 1-50 km resolution). Unlike single-point measurements, mesoscale data provides spatially consistent, long-term time series essential for renewable energy resource assessment. It's used for wind farm siting, solar project planning, and long-term energy yield analysis because it captures multi-decadal climate patterns that short-term measurements miss.
