Huadian Group has three wind power and photovoltaic projects in Chifeng. The wind power and photovoltaic projects currently developed and operated by Huadian Group in Chifeng City are as follows:
1. Hongshan Wind Farm: located in Hongshan Town, with a total installed capacity of 49.5 MW.
2. Badanhuqi Wind Farm: Located in Baoguotu Town, the total installed capacity is 49.5 MW.
3. Ulan Wusu Photovoltaic Power Station: located in Aohan Banner, with a total installed capacity of 20 MW. In addition, Huadian Group is also planning and constructing a number of new energy projects in Chifeng City, such as renewable energy comprehensive utilization demonstration projects. The construction of these new energy projects will help promote local clean energy development and economic development.
Which of photovoltaic and wind power is less harmful to the environment?
Wind power and photovoltaic power generation both have the common advantages of being clean, renewable and never exhausted. Compared with photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation Power generation has obvious advantages. Why do you say this? Mainly based on the following two points:
1. The cleanliness of photovoltaic power generation is relative, because the production of solar panels has the characteristics of high pollution and high energy consumption, and the manufacturing process is not environmentally friendly; while the cleanliness of wind power generation Cleanliness is absolute, which has obvious advantages over photovoltaic power generation!
2. After all, the energy distribution density of photovoltaic irradiation is small. To generate a large amount of electric energy, it takes up a huge area. Therefore, solar power stations generally occupy a relatively large area. A 1GW photovoltaic power station requires an area of 300-400 square meters. acres, so photovoltaic power stations are generally built in remote areas with vast land and sparsely populated land and barren land (it is impossible to build photovoltaic power stations on farmland in densely populated areas). Wind energy power generation facilities occupy a small area and have little impact on normal farming of farmland. Especially offshore wind power does not need to occupy land!
What is photovoltaic and wind power?
Both photovoltaics and wind power are currently recognized as new clean energy sources with little impact on the environment.
However, although it is claimed to be clean energy, strictly speaking, whether it is photovoltaic or wind power, it will have a certain impact on the environment.
For example, photovoltaics will have the following impacts on the environment:
1. The layout of photovoltaic panels will take up a lot of space.
2. During the production process of photovoltaic panels, trichlorosilane and silicon tetrachloride will be produced, which are substances that have an impact on the environment and human health.
For example, wind power will also have an impact on the environment during the deployment process.
It is said that large-scale deployment of wind power will affect atmospheric circulation and cause changes in ambient temperature.
It is also said that large-scale deployment of wind power will affect the circulation of water vapor in the atmosphere and affect the distribution of rainfall zones.
Leaving aside whether the above statement is accurate, the two new energy sources of photovoltaic and wind power themselves have not yet achieved 100% no impact on the environment. ...it will have some impact to some extent.
Of course, compared with traditional energy, the two new energy sources, photovoltaic and wind power, have very little impact on the environment and are environmentally friendly enough., so these two new energy sources and other new energy sources have achieved such extensive development.
Generally, wind power plants have relatively sufficient sunlight due to site selection. In order to better utilize clean energy, photovoltaic power generation will be used at the same time as wind power generation. It is simple. In other words, photovoltaic power generation is the use of solar energy to generate electricity. Photovoltaic wind power refers to the simultaneous use of wind energy and solar energy to generate electricity.
