The ten characteristics of wind energy are renewable, widely distributed, relatively stable, non-polluting, limited by environmental conditions, impact on wildlife, high initial investment, interference sound and visual, geographical gender, seasonality. .
1. Renewable
Wind energy is abundant and does not have the same depletion problem as fossil fuels and other resources.
2. Widely distributed
99% of the world's regions are suitable for wind power generation, especially open coasts and desert areas and other terrain conditions are particularly suitable.
3. Relatively stable
Although wind power generation has differences in seasons, periods and locations, compared with clean energy sources such as solar and hydropower, wind energy productionenne is predictable and flexible.
4. Non-polluting
Wind energy does not produce harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide like fossil fuels and does not pollute the environment.
5. Limited by environmental conditions
Environmental conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, topography, and ocean airflow impact wind power generation, thereby leading to the wind stability and reliability. electricity production will be affected to some extent.
6. Impact on wildlife
Wind turbines cause damage to birds and other wild animals, and their impact on their migration, habitat and reproduction is also gradually raising concerns among people.
7. High initial investment
The price of wind turbine equipment is relatively high, and the construction and maintenance costs are also high.t high, which requires a significant investment.
8. Noise and visual interference
Wind turbines will produce noise and visual interference which will affect their appearance when in operation.
9. Regionality
Wind power is very regional and cannot be built anywhere. It must be built in a location with abundant wind resources. In other words, the wind speed is high and the duration is long. The size of wind resources is related to terrain and landforms, and mountain passes and islands are often the preferred locations.
10. Seasonality
The seasonality of wind power determines that wind power generation plays a “supporting role” in the overall power grid.
