Earn money. Small investments in wind energy have higher returns. According to the latest data, the efficiency of small wind turbines has reached more than 90%, which means that using small wind turbines to generate electricity can save a lot of energy costs. In addition, the investment cost of small wind turbines is relatively low. , and ordinary households and businesses can bear it.
How much does wind energy cost?
The investment amount, power generation and economic benefits of offshore wind power projects will be affected by many factors, such as water depth of the location, speed wind, equipment selection, construction period, policy subsidies, etc. . Therefore, it is impossible to give a precise answer. The following provides only an approximate reference:
1. Mountainant of investment: The investment amount for 1 GW of offshore wind power typically exceeds billions of dollars. The specific investment amount depends on the project location, equipment selection, construction period and other factors.
2. Energy production: Offshore wind energy production is related to water depth, wind speed, wind energy density and other location factors. Generally, a 1MW offshore wind turbine can generate around 25 energy. -35 million kilowatt hours per year. Therefore, a 1 GW offshore wind power project can generate on average around 25 to 35 billion kilowatt hours per year.
3. Economic Benefits: The economic benefits of offshore wind power include energy revenues, policy subsidies, reduced carbon emissions and other factors. In a general way,The payback cycle takes several years to more than ten years, depending on factors such as the amount of project investment, political support, and electricity market prices.
It should be noted that the above data is for reference only, and the specific data should be evaluated according to the actual project conditions.
The price of wind energy is in fact higher, it is approximately 1 time more expensive than thermal energy. However, judging from the trend, the cost of wind power generation is on a downward trend and has now fallen to 0.5~0.6 yuan per kilowatt/hour, which is the total cost of wind power. As technology advances, costs will decrease even further. Compared to thermal power generation, one of the main advantages of wind power is its environmental benefits. At present, the cost incFull thermal power generation reaches 0.2 to 0.3 yuan per kilowatt/hour, which does not include the cost of treating discharged pollutants. In addition, thermal energy production is also affected by the fluctuation in fossil fuel prices.
