Wind Power Development

Wind power development, whilst welcomed by many as a potentially green source of energy, also gives rise to considerable local resistance. Drawing on three case studies from coastal Norway (Frøya, Haramsøy, and Egersund), the present article sets out to reflect on life in anticipation of wind power development. Reflecting on the nature of life in anticipation of undesired wind power developments, with implications for how life is lived in dread of imminent adversities in general (such as climate change, pandemics, and disaster risks), these case studies focus on how communities relate to the future and how they perceive and strive to organise so as to shape outcomes. A central point raised in this article is that wind power projects could become more socially, environmentally and economically sustainable if greater attention is paid to working with communities to reduce distrust and uncertainties before, during and after such projects. Hence, relational work carried out that may shape the affective state of anticipation prior to and during wind farm construction can be understood as crucial to the sustainability of large-scale green infrastructure projects.

Wind Power Development

Due to a series of supporting policies in recent years, China wind power has developed rapidly through a large-scale and centralized mode. This paper analyzes the two major concerns faced by China’s wind power development: wind generation reliability and wind energy balancing. More specifically, wind farm tripping-off-grid incidents and wind power curtailment issues, which caused huge economical loss, are investigated in details. Based on operation experience of large wind power bases, technical recommendations and economic incentives are proposed to improve wind power integration and power grid reliability. As a summary and outlook of wind power development in China, this paper provides a reference on future wind power development for other countries.

Actively promoting the development of offshore wind power is an inevitable choice if the People’s Republic of China plans to fulfill its international commitments, respond to climate change, ensure energy security, and improve energy infrastructure. Inevitably, offshore wind power development will conflict with other marine activities, including mariculture and shipping. Therefore, learning how to develop offshore wind power without affecting the environment or conflicting with other marine activities is crucial to the conservation of spatial marine resources. The rapid development of offshore wind power in Liaoning Province has allowed researchers to develop an index system that can be used to evaluate the suitability of offshore wind power development sites by considering costs, environmental protection, and sea management. Spatial analysis and a multi-attribute evaluation method integrating a fuzzy membership function were used to evaluate offshore wind farm placement in Liaoning. The results classified 5%, 18%, 21%, and 56% offshore areas of Liaoning as very suitable, relatively suitable, somewhat unsuitable, and unsuitable for wind power development, respectively. The results of this paper can provide a reference for decision makers who plan for offshore wind farm locations under the constraints of high-intensity development.

This study examines the primary planning research of Chinese wind power development. In recent year, wind power in China is developed rapidly which is dealing with many challenges and risks caused by limited primary energy resources and climate changes. Facing these challenges and risks, a better planning method of wind power is essentially. This research points out planning method of wind power consumption access to power grid. Based on wind power farm size and distribution, linked to power demand requirement of the future, research will put forward a better transmission power grid planning which adapted all kinds of wind power industry base.

Wind Power Development

Based on an analysis of the misunderstanding and problems concerning wind power development, this paper summarizes the experiences of coordinated development of wind power and power grids in typical countries, proposes the principles and strategies for the coordinated development of wind power and power grids in China. Technically, bidirectional friendly technologies should be deployed to ensure the security of power system. In regulatory term, a complete and standardized regulatory strategy is key to harmonious interaction among different stakeholders concerning wind development. Incentive policies should be comprehensive, foreseeable and sustainable. Related measures and suggestions for large scale development of wind power in China are put forward.

Wind Power Development

The wind power development policy community faces a conundrum. On the one hand, as the most commercially viable form of utility-scale renewable energy, the wind power industry has experienced in excess of ten-fold growth in total installed capacity over the past decade. On the other hand, installed wind power capacity still accounts for less than 2% of global electricity-generation capacity, despite the prevalence of studies indicating that, in certain situations, wind power can be a cheaper form of electricity than most fossil fuel alternatives. Accordingly, the most puzzling aspect of wind power development policy can be summed up in the following manner: given the global imperative to facilitate an expedient transition away from CO2-intensive energy technologies and the commercial viability of wind power, what is stopping the wind power industry from capturing higher market shares around the world? In Wind Power Politics and Policy, Scott Valentine examines this question from two angles. First, it presents an analysis of social, technical, economic and political (STEP) barriers which research shows tends to stymie wind power development. Case studies which examine phlegmatic wind power development in Japan, Taiwan, Australia and Canada are presented in order to demonstrate to the reader how these barriers manifest themselves in practice. Second, the book presents an analysis of STEP catalysts which have been linked to successful growth of wind power capacity in select nations. Four more case studies that examine the successful development of wind power in Denmark, Germany, the USA and China are put forth as practical examples of how supportive factors conflate to produce conditions that are conducive to growth of wind power markets. By examining its impediments and catalysts, the book will provide policymakers with insight into the types of factors that must be effectively managed in order to maximize wind power development.

Proceeding from the perspective of a low carbon economy, the author defined the concept of "Low-carbon Economic Benefits (LEB)" for the ground-breaking in the context of energy shortage and environmental damage. Through the establishment of narrow analysis model, the author first calculated the energy saving benefits of all planning wind power development projects in Yunnan Province. Taking into account the other social and economic effects of the wind power development projects, the author summed up the broad, low-carbon economic calculation model. A planning wind farm project in Yunnan Province as an example, the author estimated its energy saving benefits of a single wind power development projects. For generalized computing model, however, some indicators can not be quantified, and there is great uncertainty. This is worthy of the author to do further research.
