# Create Resource

`POST /resources/wind_power_site`

Create a new premium wind power site. Required fields: name, latitude, longitude, capacity. Optional fields with defaults: rotor_diameter (100m), hub_height (80m), number_of_turbines (1), cut_in_wind_speed (3 m/s), cut_out_wind_speed (25 m/s), rated_wind_speed (12 m/s).

## Request body

- CreatePremiumWindResource — Create Resource
  - `resource_id` string, required — The unique identifier of the resource.
  - `name` string, required — The name of the resource.
  - `latitude` number, double, required — The latitude of the resource. Must be a decimal number between -90 and 90.
  - `longitude` number, double, required — The longitude of the resource. Must be a decimal number between -180 and 180.
  - `capacity` number, double, nullable, required — The site capacity (rated power × number of turbines) in MW.
  - `rotor_diameter` number, double, nullable — Average diameter of turbine rotor in metres. Must be between 20 and 200.
  - `rated_power` number, double, nullable — Average turbine rated power in MW. Must be between 0.1 and 15000.
  - `hub_height` number, double, nullable — Average height of turbine hub in metres. Must be between 10 and 200. Defaults to 80.
  - `number_of_turbines` integer, nullable — Total number of turbines at site. Must be between 1 and 500. Defaults to 1.
  - `cut_in_wind_speed` number, double, nullable — Minimum wind speed for generation in m/s. Must be between 0 and 10. Defaults to 3.
  - `cut_out_wind_speed` number, double, nullable — Maximum wind speed before shutdown in m/s. Must be between 15 and 35. Defaults to 25.
  - `rated_wind_speed` number, double, nullable — Wind speed at rated power in m/s. Must be between 8 and 20. Defaults to 12.
