In the future, Turpan in Xinjiang may not only be famous for its grape production, but the largest wind power project currently planned in China will make the most spectacular "windmill forest" in China appear here.
China Huadian Group Corporation and the Xinjiang Turpan Prefecture Administration signed a cooperative development agreement at the end of March: starting from 2006, China Huadian Group Corporation will invest 15 billion yuan to develop 40,000 kilowatts per year in Turpan Xiaocao. Hufeng District will build a 2 million kilowatt wind farm. It will invest 1.5 billion yuan in the first five years to increase the installed wind power capacity to 300,000 kilowatts at a rate of 60,000 kilowatts per year.
Huitengxile Wind Power Plant is the largest wind farm in Asia. It is located on the Inner Mongolia Plateau with a high altitude and a wind outlet. The wind resources are very rich. The average annual wind speed at a height of 10 meters here is 7.2 meters/second. , the annual average wind speed at 40 meters is 8.8 meters/second, the wind energy power density is 662 watts/square meter, the annual average air density is 1.07 kg/cubic meter, the effective wind time at 10 meters and 40 meters is 5-25 meters/second The number is 6255 hours-7293 hours. It has the characteristics of strong stability, good sustainability and high quality of wind energy, making it the most ideal place for building wind farms. Since the construction of the wind farm began in 1996, 94 units have been installed and the installed capacity has reached 140 million kilowatt hours. In the near future, the planned installed capacity is 166.5 MW, which will become the largest wind farm in Asia and also a tourist attraction in Huitengxile. A beautiful landscape in the area. Wind power plants can not only alleviate the shortage of electricity in Beijing, Tianjin and other places, but also form the most ornamental wind power landscape. Although it is midsummer, the wind turbines are still running at high speed. In autumn and winter, the strong winds on the grasslands can be imagined. The wind farm is a new sight in the grassland, which makes many tourists stop and look at it, and never want to leave.
